Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said the UDA government will be the country’s biggest political party and will rule for over 100 years.
The DP, while addressing the United Democratic Alliance grassroots coordinators, said the party would recruit Azimio’s strongholds to their side.
“We have moved across the country, and you have seen that our party is now in every corner of the country. Our plans are bigger, and we will expand the party to reach Nyanza region and other areas, this is a massive party that will rule for 100 years,” he said.

Gachagua further said the government is willing to let the opposition play its role, ruling out the idea of a possible handshake.
“When we talk about shares, we mean governance. President William Ruto will not appoint those who did not support his candidature. He will only appoint those who supported him because they have a clear understanding of the vision he has. They understand the bottom-up economic model better than those who did not support him,” he said.
UDA’s secretary general Cleophas Malala said the party aims at recruiting at least 15 million members before the next election.
“We will start with a recruitment exercise in Siaya before moving to other regions in the country. We will have a strong party where everyone belongs and by the next general election, we will have over 15 million members,” said Mr. Malala.
