In a significant shift within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki has officially been appointed as the party\u2019s Deputy Leader, marking the end of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s tenure in the role. This decision, announced by UDA’s National Executive Committee (NEC) on Monday, November 11, follows Kindiki\u2019s recent swearing-in as Kenya\u2019s Deputy President earlier in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement from the NEC, the party clarified that Gachagua could no longer serve in the position due to constitutional constraints, citing Articles 75(3) and 45(7) of the Kenyan Constitution. \u201cBy virtue of the resolution of the National Assembly and the vote of the Senate\u2026 Rigathi Gachagua is unable to perform the duties of the deputy party leader and thus ceases to hold office of the Deputy Party Leader,\u201d read the NEC’s statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NEC added that Kindiki\u2019s designation as UDA\u2019s Deputy Leader was effective immediately. However, a party source revealed that Gachagua has not been expelled from the UDA and retains the option to continue as an ordinary member or leave the party at his discretion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
