Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi has warned elected leaders affiliated with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to prepare for intense political competition ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking during a public engagement, Mudavadi noted that the next electoral contest would not be business as usual, cautioning that political goodwill is never permanent and must be earned continuously through service delivery and accountability to the electorate.
He emphasized that holding office under the ruling party does not guarantee automatic re-election, especially in an increasingly informed and demanding political environment.
Mudavadi observed that Kenyan voters are becoming more issue-driven and less tolerant of leaders who fail to deliver on development promises.
He urged UDA leaders to remain grounded, work closely with wananchi, and avoid complacency that often accompanies incumbency.
According to him, the political terrain ahead will be shaped by performance, integrity, and the ability to respond to the real needs of citizens.
The competition will be stiff. Leaders must understand that the electorate is watching closely and will judge based on tangible results,” Mudavadi said, adding that the 2027 elections will present a serious test for both new and seasoned politicians.

The Prime Cabinet Secretary also pointed out that Kenya’s political landscape remains highly dynamic, with shifting alliances and emerging political movements likely to challenge established players.
He warned that internal divisions, arrogance, and failure to listen to the people could weaken the ruling party’s grip in several regions.
Mudavadi called on UDA leaders to prioritize unity within the party while respecting divergent views, noting that internal wrangles often provide ammunition to political opponents.
He stressed the importance of discipline and collective responsibility in sustaining public confidence in the government.
While reiterating his commitment to supporting the Kenya Kwanza administration’s development agenda, Mudavadi reminded leaders that national leadership demands humility and consistency.
He urged them to use the remaining period before 2027 to consolidate gains, address public concerns such as the cost of living, unemployment, and service delivery and demonstrate genuine leadership.
