UDA names DP Kithure Kindiki as the deputy party leader

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has been appointed as the Deputy Party leader of United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

The UDA National Executive Committee (NEC) held a meeting on Monday morning, where it resolved to replace former DP Rigathi Gachagua, who served as the party’s deputy leader. 

While reading the resolutions, UDA chairperson Cecily Mbarire and Secretary General Hassan Omar said they are arrived at the decision following the successful impeachment of Rigathi last month hence rendering him incapable of discharging his duties as deputy party leader.

The officials gave the incoming deputy party leader assurance saying his unmatched skills will help in taking the party forward.

On his side Kindiki said he is ready to serve with loyalty adding that the party will work with other institutions to solve issues affecting not only the party but the country.

"I want to assure you of my unwavering party to the ideals that our party stands for. I will work with all the organs established under our party constitution for the good and better performance of our party," he said. 

Kindiki said he is assuming the role of deputy party leader at a time when the country is at a crossroads, adding that UDA stands for unity for all Kenyans regardless of their background.

"The unity of Kenya is not a threat to the segments that constitute Kenya."

His predecessor, Gachagua was impeached by the National Assembly on October 8, a decision that was upheld by the Senate on October 17.
