PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Office of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Candidate – Mbeere North by-election Leo wa Mūthende
My attention has been drawn to a circulating video clip on social media and mainstream media platforms in which certain individuals among them Simon Njiru alias Gikundo wa Gikundo and Josiah Ngari alias Puff Mtetezi are heard addressing certain individual(s).
As the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) fraternity in Mbeere North, we categorically and firmly distance ourselves from such reckless and irresponsible utterances. I personally condemn, in the strongest terms possible, any attempts to incite chaos or disrupt peace in our constituency.
The sentiments expressed in the clip are purely personal and do not, in any way, reflect the position of our party, our leadership, or the peace-loving people of Mbeere North. UDA stands for unity, peace, and democracy values that are deeply rooted in our vision for a prosperous Kenya.
Our campaign remains peaceful, issue-based, and focused on delivering real transformation to our people through better roads, improved water access, job creation, and youth empowerment. Violence and division have no place in the Mbeere North we are building.
As we move closer to the elections, I urge all leaders, supporters, and residents to exercise restraint, respect differing opinions, and conduct themselves with decorum. Let us campaign on ideas, not insults; on solutions, not threats.
Mbeere North has always been a beacon of peace and unity. Together, we must safeguard that legacy as we shape our shared future. I am confident that through peace, hard work, and God’s grace, we will triumph and take Mbeere North forward.
Let us all be ambassadors of peace for the sake of our people and the generations to come.
HON. LEO WA MŪTHENDE
Incoming Member of Parliament, Mbeere North
United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
