The United Democratic Alliance—a party associated with DP William Ruto—has unveiled its constitution having an expanded leadership structure with three deputy party leaders. Key in the constitution is the introduction of three deputy party leaders, three deputy chairpersons, three party deputy secretary generals, three deputy national treasurers and three deputy national organising secretaries. According to the constitution, UDA appears to borrow heavily from the Jubilee constitution unveiled in 2017, but swiftly seals glaring leadership loopholes plaguing the ruling party. The UDA party will hold its grassroot elections on June 18, 2021. The UDA constitution gives party members powers to petition for a Special Delegates Convention while the parliamentary leadership will have authority to hold their own meetings without necessarily being attended by the party leader.
