Mudavadi-Ruto alliance causes tremors in UDA, stirs deputy president anxieties
-
There are indications that Mudavadi's ANC party may fold and join the ruling UDA party, causing worry in Deputy President Gachagua's camp.
-
Past scenarios where deputy leaders like Jaramogi Odinga and George Saitoti lost power after partnerships between parties are being compared.
-
There is division within UDA over a provision for 3 deputy party leaders, which Gachagua allies want removed to have just one deputy leader.
-
Mudavadi hinted at an impending "political earthquake" like the one that altered the 2022 succession, concerning deeper engagement between ANC and UDA.
-
Analysts see parallels between current UDA infighting and past humiliation of vice presidents to check their power, like what happened with the Kanu/NDP merger.
