UDA Confident After Strong Press Brief on Emurua Dikirr Victory

Party says the people have reaffirmed trust in President William Ruto’s leadership and the Bottom-Up agenda

By Evans Muguna


The ruling party, United Democratic Alliance, today issued a powerful press brief following the highly contested Emurua Dikirr by-election, declaring the outcome as a major political victory for President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Speaking during the press briefing shared through the party’s official communication platforms, UDA leaders praised residents of Emurua Dikirr for turning out in large numbers and showing confidence in the government’s development agenda. The party described the win as a clear message that wananchi still believe in the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda despite growing political competition across theu country.

The by-election attracted national attention after the death of former area MP Johana Ng’eno earlier this year. The constituency became a battleground between UDA and opposition-linked candidates, with campaigns intensifying in the final days before voting. 

UDA officials stated that the victory was not just about numbers, but about the continued connection between the ruling party and ordinary Kenyans. According to the leaders, the people of Emurua Dikirr chose development, stability, and continuity over divisive politics.

During the press brief, party officials also dismissed claims made by rivals regarding the conduct of the election, insisting the exercise was peaceful, transparent, and reflected the democratic will of the voters. They further congratulated the party candidate, David Keter, for what they termed as a disciplined and issue-based campaign focused on roads, youth empowerment, agriculture, and economic growth. 

Political analysts view the Emurua Dikirr outcome as an important test for UDA ahead of future by-elections and the 2027 political landscape. The constituency has remained politically significant in Narok County, with over 44,000 registered voters spread across four wards. 

The ruling party also used the press briefing to thank grassroots supporters, campaign teams, youth mobilizers, and security agencies for ensuring a calm electoral process. Leaders urged Kenyans to remain united after the election period and focus on national development.

The victory now strengthens UDA’s grip in the region and gives President Ruto’s allies renewed momentum as political alignments continue taking shape across the country.

The Girl Who Ran Into Fire....

Cecilia Wanjiku: The Girl Who Ran Into Fire The night of May 28 began like any other at Utumishi Girls Academy. The halls of Meline Waithera Dormitory had grown quiet as students settled into sleep after a long day of classes and laughter. Outside, the darkness wrapped itself around the school grounds, and the cool night air carried a sense of peace. Then, without warning, that peace was shattered. A faint crackling sound echoed through the dormitory. Within moments, flames burst to life, spreading rapidly through the building. Smoke poured into the corridors, thick and suffocating. Terrified screams pierced the darkness as girls woke to find fire surrounding them. Panic swept through the two-storey dormitory. Students scrambled from their beds, searching desperately for exits. Some cried for help. Others stood frozen in fear. The orange glow of the fire reflected on frightened faces as the flames climbed higher and higher. Among the chaos stood sixteen-year-old Cecilia Wan...
