Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A host of UDA leaders are in the Teso North subcounty in Busia attending a church fundraiser.<\/p>\n

The funds drive is meant to aid the construction of a new church at Chelelemuk Catholic Parish.<\/p>\n

Among leaders attending the event include President William Ruto’s Personal Assistant Farouk Kibet who’s the chief guest, Teso South MP Mary Emase, Kericho senator Aaron Cheruiyot, former Busia governor Sospeter Ojaamong and Taita Taveta senator Danston Mungatana.<\/p>\n

From the ODM wing, those in attendance include Busia Governor Paul Otuoma, and Teso North MP Oku Kaunya.<\/p>\n

Also in attendance is Ikolomani MP Bernard Shinali, Principal Administrative Secretary in the Executive Office of President Arthur Osiya and a host of MCAs.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser comes at a time when both ODM and UDA are repositioning to take control of Busia County as the country moves towards holding the 2027 general election.<\/p>\n

Teso North where the event is being held is represented in parliament by Kaunya who was elected in 2022 on an ODM party ticket.<\/p>\n

It also comes after a host of ODM leaders from Nairobi have been traversing Busia to wrestle UDA presence in the county.<\/p>\n

But UDA officials in the border county have also been crisscrossing the county to topple the opposition party from the county that borders Uganda.<\/p>\n
