Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has officially assumed the office of the Deputy Party Leader at the United Democratic Movement (UDA) party, swiftly replacing Rigathi Gachagua.
The changes at UDA’s second top command post were triggered by the removal from office of Gachagua by impeachment last month.
UDA Constitution designates the President as the Party Leader while the Deputy President is the Deputy Party Leader.
“I am humbled to assume the position of the Deputy Party Leader of the UDA, a party that I have worked hard for. I want us to focus on recruitment of more members and the grassroots elections to maintain our popularity,” said Prof. Kindiki while taking office.
The DP said he will consult and promote the ideals of the party as he supports the President in running the outfit.
“I was and I am still the chief agent for UDA party. I have not yet handed over the Chief Agent mantle for this party that made me Interior Cabinet Secretary,” he said.
National Chair Cecily Mbarire and Secretary General Hassan Omar led National Executive Committee members in witnessing the change of guard at the party headquarters, Hustler Plaza.
