Lulu Hassan Joins Ruto as Aisha Jumwa Makes Political Comeback to UDA

Citizen TV journalist Lulu Hassan has attracted attention after joining President William Ruto during the reception of former Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa back into the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

Jumwa’s return to the ruling party marks a significant development in the country’s political landscape as political leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

President Ruto welcomed Jumwa back to UDA, signalling renewed political ties between the two leaders after a period of political uncertainty surrounding her party affiliation.

Lulu Hassan’s presence alongside the President during the occasion also caught the attention of Kenyans, with the celebrated Citizen TV journalist appearing as part of the event that brought together political leaders and other invited guests.

Jumwa is a prominent political figure from the Coast region who previously served as Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage in Ruto’s administration.

Her political journey has seen her occupy several influential positions, including serving as the Member of Parliament for Malindi and Kilifi County Woman Representative.

Her return to UDA could strengthen the party’s political presence in the Coast region, where competition for influence is expected to intensify as the 2027 elections approach.

The Coast region remains an important political battleground, with different political formations seeking to consolidate support ahead of the next presidential contest.

Ruto’s reception of Jumwa also comes at a time when UDA is working to strengthen its political structures and attract influential leaders from different parts of the country.

The development is likely to generate further political debate, particularly regarding the impact of Jumwa’s return on the ruling party’s grassroots mobilisation efforts and its broader 2027 political strategy.
