What you need to know; UDA Party has given the immediate former Bumula Member of Parliament Mwambu Mabonga the parties ticket to vie for the Bungoma Senate seat. Other party aspirants including the acting cricket Kenya CEO Walter Trenk have proceeded to court to seek an explanation on the same. The UDA party's Hustler con is being unmasked every single passing day. When President William Ruto branded himself as a Hustler way back in 2014, majority of Kenyans in the lower echelons of the population were swept off their feet by the possibilities that lay ahead if only they could make William Ruto their president. Were they wrong?  In Ruto's first act of disappointment, he picked individuals to his cabinet who were either billionaires or Maybe the very minimum qualification for one to be in the cabinet was that they must be rich? Of course none of them hustled in the real meaning of the word.  The next test came for the party's choice of their flag bearer in the Bungoma Senato

Is UDA Party under auction from the real hustlers especially in Bungoma to a pre-determined Senatorial flag bearer? As the Ford Kenya candidate Wafula Wakoli continues with his campaign, UDA internal fissures have emerged. Some party officials seem to have deliberately decided to bungle party primaries by playing underhand games by tightly controlling the information which is supposed to be public. The party is facing a credibility crisis since president William Ruto rode to power with promises to the so-called Hustlers that they will be part of his government. It seems like words are easier to utter than actions. One and a half months since he was sworn in, president Ruto and his close allies seem to be at sea with regard to actualization of the pre-election promises. The battle for the UDA ticket in Bungoma has now moved the theater from the party headquarters and statehouse to the courts. Two UDA aspirants Hon. Walter Mukinginyi Trenk and Hon. Timothy Kitang'asi Lukorito have re

Yesterday on endorsing a Ford Kenya Party Candidate for the senate seat, there were claims made by one of the members of Parliament elected on a UDA Party ticket that UDA will be supporting a Ford Kenya candidate in the by-election. However, the claims were swiftly dismissed by one of the UDA aspirants Hon. Walter Mukinginyi Trenk who termed the claims as wild and unfortunate.   Hon. Trenk said in a statement seen by our reliable source that the UDA party will be fielding a candidate in the by-election and that no relevant organ of the party has ever met to discuss the position taken by the said member of Parliament.  The position taken by the Kimilili Member of Parliament is a personal one and is against the party rules and the Kenyan law governing the conduct of members

By the Specialized Politique Communique... Hon. Walter Mukinginyi Trenk- UDA's likely candidate in the Bungoma Senate Race. UDA Party is one of the most popular parties in Bungoma apart from the historical Ford Kenya which has been in existence for a long period of time actively in Bungoma and parts of the larger Western region. Being new and the fastest growing party in the entire country, UDA as a party is expected to field a candidate in the slated Bungoma senate by-election on 8th December 2022. The serious contenders for the Bungoma Senate seat will be known at the end of this week after the UDA candidate is officially unveiled by the party. Early in the week there was confusion as to who was the person to be nominated by the party but it has since been established that Hon. Walter Mukinginyi Trenk, the Secretary General of Friends of Ruto Movement is the one in line for the party ticket after the other aspirants failed to meet the deadlines set by the IEBC, including the imm

By the Specialized Politique communique... Former Bungoma Senator, Moses Masika Wetangula. As Kenyans celebrated their 59th Mashujaa Day, the search for the replacement of Hon. Moses Wetang'ula as Senator of Bungoma County continued unabated. Getting someone passionate about the plight of the people of Bungoma is the main agenda not about who the now speaker of the National Assembly will front neither President Ruto's UDA Party. FORD Kenya party conducted their own predetermined "nominations" through what they called an electoral college and concensus building thus gave the ticket to Hon. Wetang'ula's former aide Hon. Wafula Wakoli.  UDA party which is the other most popular party in Bungoma, on the other hand, is yet to give the name of their candidate but it is widely believed that the ticket will go to Hon. Walter Mukinginyi Trenk, the Secretary General of Friends of Ruto Movement, a lobby group which campaigned for the election of President William Ruto. 

Front-runners With less than two months to the by-elections, the race for Bungoma Senatorial by-elections has continued to shape up this week when the closing date set by the IEBC for parties to submit lists of aspirants interested in running on their tickets came to an end on Thursday the midnight of 13th. The IEBC staff stayed up to midnight to serve all the political parties interested in fielding candidates in the mini-polls. Independent candidates also submitted their preferred symbols late into the night. Ford Kenya and UDA had attracted a large number of candidates before but that was not the case at close of business Thursday midnight. It has emerged that out of the over five aspirants who had shown interest in running on the UDA party ticket, only one aspirant, Mr Walter Trenk Mukinginyi had submitted his application to the party. Former Bumula Member of Parliament Hon. Mwambu Mabonga had not submitted his application by close of the exercise thus legally rendering him ineli
