Speaking in Kitui County during the launch of an empowerment program for women groups from Kitui West at Kabati, Kitui County, Ruto said his party has 150 Members of Parliament affiliated to it. The DP, who was popularizing his political vehicle ahead of the August 2022 presidential race, defended UDA from tribal leaning, stating that his political party has members from across the country. “As we speak, and your MP Nimrod Mbai can confirm, UDA has 150 members in Parliament from across the country,” Ruto said.
