Kasarani Residents Stage Mass Defection from UDA Party

Kasarani Residents Abandon UDA, Citing Broken Promises A significant shift in Kenyan politics unfolded in Kasarani on May 13th, 2025, as a group of residents, led by aspiring MP Peter Wambugu, publicly declared their departure from the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. The defection, captured in a short video, highlights growing discontent within the party's ranks. The video shows Wambugu, known as PeMwa, addressing a crowd of supporters. He directly states, "We are leaving UDA because their government has not fulfilled its promises to the people of Kasarani." He cites specific examples, including a lack of investment in local infrastructure and healthcare. The video also shows other members of the group expressing their support for the move. The shift to the Wamunyoro party signals a potential realignment of political power in the region. The video's impact is amplified by its timing, just before a crucial political event. The departure of PeMwa and his supporters could significantly impact the upcoming elections, indicating a potential shift in public opinion. The event underscores the importance of political accountability and the need for government responsiveness to the needs of its citizens.
