United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party executive council members in Homa Bay county have embarked on an aggressive mobilisation of the grassroots in the region to support the government.
Led by former Nairobi governor Evans Kidero, county party chairman Kennedy Obuya, and ex-Rangwe MP Martin Ogindo, the officials said they aim to marshal the lake region to join the government.
Kidero said President William Ruto was committed to ensuring every corner of the country develops to the highest possible level.
"President Ruto has brought all Kenyans on board through the broad-based government, we should all support his development agenda," he said.
Speaking during a press briefing in Homa Bay Town on Monday, Kidero said the UDA manifesto was the best bet for the countries' economic transformation.
He said the UDA County Executive Council was fully in support of President Ruto's vision of uniting the country.
Kidero said the party officials have embarked on an aggressive recruitment of new members ahead of the 2027 elections.
"We target to increase the number of registered members in the county from the current 40 per cent to 60 per cent as we plan to win all elective seats," Kidero said.
Odoyo Owidi said UDA officials endorse fully the move by the President to bring on board Raila's allies to the cabinet.
He said the region has finally understood the benefits of being in government, and the community is not ready to make the mistake of opposing Kenya Kwanza.
"Some of us joined the government earlier but got a lot of criticism. It is now evident that everyone wants to be part of the government," Owidi said.
Ogindo said they have been instructed by the President to unite the country and mobilise the Luo community.
Silas Jakakimba, a council member, urged the government to ensure development projects proposed by leaders are fast tracked.
