Lulu Hassan Joins Ruto in Receiving Aisha Jumwa Back to UDA as President Hints at New Role

President William Ruto has welcomed former Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa back to the United Democratic Alliance, marking a significant development in the political landscape ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The reunion attracted attention, particularly after Citizen TV journalist Lulu Hassan appeared alongside the Head of State during the occasion, capturing a moment that has generated interest among Kenyans.

Jumwa’s return to UDA comes after months of political uncertainty following her decision to walk away from the ruling party.

Her departure had raised questions about her next political move and whether she would eventually find her way back into Ruto’s political camp.

The former Gender Cabinet Secretary had previously expressed dissatisfaction with how she felt she was being treated within the party despite her contribution to its political activities.

Her exit came at a time when political leaders were increasingly positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections, with different formations seeking to strengthen their influence across the country.

However, Ruto’s decision to receive Jumwa back signals a renewed political relationship between the two leaders.

During the reception, the President also pledged to give Jumwa a new role in the party’s agenda, raising expectations about the responsibilities she could assume as UDA prepares for the next electoral contest.

Jumwa has considerable political experience, having served in different leadership positions, including as a Member of Parliament and Cabinet Secretary.

She has also remained an influential figure in Coast politics.

Her return could therefore become an important talking point as UDA seeks to consolidate its political support ahead of the next general election.

Meanwhile, Lulu Hassan’s appearance alongside Ruto added another notable element to the occasion.

The celebrated television journalist is among Kenya’s most recognisable media personalities, although her presence at the event does not establish any political affiliation.

The development comes amid growing political realignments, with several leaders reconsidering their positions as the country gradually moves towards the 2027 General Election.

For Jumwa, returning to UDA marks a new chapter in her political journey, with Kenyans now watching to see what role Ruto has in mind for her.
