Nick Salat Joins UDA Party

Former Kenya African National Union (KANU) Secretary General Nick Salat has joined the President William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

Salat is now the latest on the list of politicians that have abandoned their political parties to be members of the ruling UDA party.

Moreover, UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala on Wednesday, March 15 received Salat, who was in the company of other leaders who had ditched the KANU party. 

Salat’s move to join UDA comes following his suspension from KANU three months ago, and a subsequent expulsion. 

Nevertheless, the former KANU secretary general said he decided to join UDA after his former party lost direction and unity. 

“These are only a sample of the people who are ready and willing to join you. Given a chance, you will see a big number of KANU members willing to join UDA. We believe that even though this party is six months old, it has shown signs that it is heading somewhere. We need to give it a chance,” he noted.

Likewise, former KANU treasurer Brenda Majune, said she left KANU willingly because she believes in President William Ruto’s vision and is ready to work with him.

In addition, the new UDA signees join the party a day after six other parties dissolved their political outfits to be part of the ruling party.

Furthermore, a section of leaders from Nyanza region including former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero also joined UDA.
