The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has announced the revocation of Cleophas Malala’s appointment as interim Secretary General, effective immediately.
According to the National Executive Committee (NEC), Hassan Omar Hassan will assume the role of Secretary-General on an interim basis.
This decision follows consultative deliberations and complies with Article 8.2 of the party constitution.
The NEC stated that they convened on Friday morning at the request of committee members to discuss recent events within the party.
The committee noted they decided to implement the series of administrative measures to accelerate their agenda and set forth a path of inclusive, participative, and consultative organization.
The NEC also reviewed the ongoing grassroots elections, directing the National Elections Board to make necessary adjustments and continue with elections in the remaining counties as previously communicated.
They emphasized that these elections will allow party members to choose their leaders from the polling centre level to the national level.
The NEC highlighted its constitutional mandate to provide policies and political guidance to the party, noting the need to continually realign these policies with the broader national political landscape and collective aspirations.
They reiterated that, as the governing and policymaking organ of the party, the NEC plays a crucial role in driving the political agenda of the UDA.
Consequently, the party will be implementing several administrative measures to accelerate its agenda and establish a distinctive path of inclusive, participative, and consultative organization.
