President William Ruto Reacts as Aisha Jumwa Returns to UDA

President William Ruto has welcomed former Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa back to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Ruto made the announcement in a statement on his Facebook page, after receiving Jumwa at State House, Mombasa.

Received former Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa back to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) at State House, Mombasa, President Ruto wrote.

Ruto said he looks forward to working with Jumwa to advance the party’s transformation agenda.

I look forward to working with her to advance the party’s transformation agenda at the Coast and across the country, Ruto said.

Ruto said UDA remains committed to uniting leaders and Kenyans around a shared vision.

We remain committed to uniting leaders and Kenyans around our shared vision of a united, inclusive and prosperous Kenya, Ruto said.

He ended his statement with Jumwa’s slogan: Usawa ni Sawa, Mbele Pamoja.

The phrase loosely translates to: Equality is fair, forward together.

In the photos shared by Ruto, the President is seen warmly welcoming Jumwa back to UDA, shaking her hand and placing a yellow UDA cap on her head, as Jumwa bows in respect.

Jumwa, who was smiling, appeared delighted to be back in the party she helped to build.

Jumwa was one of the founding members of UDA and a close ally of President Ruto before she was appointed Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, Arts and Heritage.

She was later removed from Cabinet during the 2024 Cabinet reshuffle, after which she kept low.
