In a major political development, Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja has quit President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA), four years after joining the party.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Addressing the press on Friday, October 9, Karanja announced that she would vie for the Nakuru gubernatorial seat in the 2027 General Election on a Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) ticket.

Karanja joined UDA in January 2022 and was elected Nakuru senator in the August 2022 General Election.

Her decision to leave UDA marks a political shift as she positions herself to contest for the county’s top seat under a different party.
