UDA Reaffirms Commitment to Honour Raila Through Full Implementation of NADCO Deal

Speaking during a UDA delegates’ meeting in Vihiga on Friday, Secretary-General Hassan Omar said the party remains dedicated to executing the NADCO report and all elements of the broad-based government arrangement

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has pledged to fully implement the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between UDA and ODM, including the 10-point agenda agreed upon with the late Raila Odinga

Speaking during a UDA delegates’ meeting in Vihiga on Friday, Secretary-General Hassan Omar said the party remains dedicated to executing the NADCO report and all elements of the broad-based government arrangement

“We in UDA will ensure that we honour Raila Odinga’s commitment  that all the agreements, word for word, that he reached with President William Ruto are implemented. It is the best honour we can give the fallen hero, Raila Odinga,” Omar stated

He added that the coalition will push forward with the proposed governance structure, work to strengthen the economy, and actualise every recommendation captured in the NADCO report and the 10-point agenda

“We as UDA and ODM will work together to ensure the goal is achieved. It was Baba’s wish that we unite,” he said

Lamu Governor Issa Timamy urged the Luhya community to rally behind the UDA candidate in the upcoming Malava by-election, saying the outcome will shape the Western region’s political direction ahead of the 2027 General Election

“This vote is crucial for the Western region and for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi. It is important for the seat to be won by UDA. Even if they combine forces, they cannot defeat us,” Timamy remarked

“This meeting was meant to bring UDA leaders closer to the grassroots. We have not had a better opportunity than this to meet with our leaders,” he said
