A section of UDA leaders from Kitui County have urged Ukambani residents to shun party-based politics and support leaders based on their track record ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The leaders who spoke over the weekend during two women empowerment drives in Mwingi West and Mwingi Central rallied support for President William Ruto's re-election bid, saying that the region stands to benefit more by the government that was investing in key development projects across Ukambani.

Led by Kitui South MP Rachael Kaki, who chairs the Kitui UDA leaders caucus, the leaders, including MPs Charles Nguna (Mwingi West –Wiper), Nimrod Mbai (Kitui East MP-UDA), former Cabinet Secretary Penina Malonza and former Mwingi Central MP Joe Mutambu, said that the Kenya Kwanza administration had demonstrated its commitment to the region through ongoing development projects, and deserves the community's support in 2027.
