A political party linked to Deputy President William Ruto has changed its name, symbol, and slogan ahead of the 2022 general election.
The Party for Development and Reforms (PDR) was renamed United Democratic Alliance (UDA) while its symbol was changed from a bull to a wheelbarrow.
The planned changes were communicated by the Registrar of Political Parties through a gazette notice No. 11254 dated December 28th, 2020.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 20 (i) of the Political Parties Act, the Registrar of Political Parties gives notice that the Party for Reforms and Development (PDR) intends to effect changes on their particulars,” reads the gazette notice in part.
The Registrar of Political Parties issued a 14-day notice for those objecting to the party’s approval to present their submissions.
UDA’s party symbol is a wheelbarrow which has been the face of DP Ruto’s hustler nation empowerment programme.
Sources within Ruto’s camp said the party whose slogan is ‘Kazi ni Kazi’ could be the political vehicle for his 2022 presidential bid. The party’s colors are yellow and green, with a black-painted wheelbarrow.
Blogger Dennis Itumbi, who heads DP Ruto’s online strategy team, was the first to share UDA’s social media handles. This was followed by several political allies of Ruto sharing the party’s logo on their social media pages.
It is alleged that former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama, who recently declared his support for DP Ruto’s 2022 State House bid, is the party chairman.
In an interview earlier this year, DP Ruto indicated he would exit Jubilee if the wrangles within the governing party persisted.

One is that wheelbarrow is not only ancient but due to its need and efficiency, thousands of them continues to be manufactured today. I doubt but if you have a good house or garden, one or more of these wheelbarrows are used.
Second is to correct you that there’s no useless kalenjin. Even in your own tribe there’s nobody useless other than perhaps yourself.
Stop your cheap tribal bigotry.
Kenyans do not want DP Ruto, a bonafide thief as their president!
Polls minus yours will show that Mr. Ruto is indeed a good man . A good and generous leader. Someone you can run to irrespective of your where you come from, age or status and he will listen to you.
I looked up thief in the dictionary and guess whose picture was there.
This hustler who bought his doctorate and teargassed toddlers on a land he had apparently grabbed is proving to be of small mind. He will NEVER be president.
If you can be genuine on who and how much land stands grabbed today in Kenya, perhaps I would agree with with you. Do you know the most grabbed land is by foreigners? And then came the Kenyatta family and many others that are not in the political limelight? Ruto did not and has not grabbed anybody’s land. He was fraudulently sold land. And he fell for the cons.
Your stupefying ignorance makes you sound like the dummy you are in your small mind! Ruto have stolen from your backyard (Muteshi), across the country to public land where Weston is build and much more!
The problem with your kind is that you steal together, kill together (Kenei, Yebei, Juma, Msando, etc), commit big and petty crimes together, fail the integrity test together, lie together and all of you look ugly together!
All the reason why 3/4 of the world does not trust or have simple confidence in your Ruto! DP Ruto is a known thief, the most corrupt creature in the history of the Universe, and a murderer who hides in religion to cover up his criminal tendencies.
Stop lying to yourself because no one is buying your nonsense!
No it’s the Kenyatta family that has the most. Even your Baba has lands that were grabbed from the people. Ruto does not own Muteshi land. And the courts already ruled on the land that Weston hotel sits. It was sold to Ruto.
Ruto hasn’t kill anyone. It’s the heads of previous government and the present that killed. Kenei for example was killed by kieleweke echelons in collusion with head of director of criminal investigations.
It’s in Kenya that elections are held. Who gives dawn on your 3/4 not liking Ruto? Go tell that to Puttin or Yoweri.
@Asista, it is time to clean up not sanitize corrupt leaders.
Well I agree with you on cleaning the corruption. Apparently it’s an uphill task because there are every kind of thieves in this swamp. Thieves fighting other thieves or embracing each other. For example the Migori governor. Was found to have siphoned the county’s money to his close relatives. Impeachment was scheduled but he went to Baba and all was well thereafter. Waiguru is another one. The list could be everyone in government. The only problem with guys that have currently been impeached is because they are thought to be affiliated with Ruto. Let me tell you that if the government at this moment had evidence that Ruto stole anything he would have been the first one to be prosecuted or impeached. And why Baba is suddenly quiet is because he is also “eating”.
Kazi ni Kazi ya Ukorofi (Corruption) wa Ruto wa kuiba Pesa ya Uma, Plots na Mashamba.
Ruto has not stolen anybody’s money or property. You rather stop your shenanigans or take him to court as private citizen if you have evidence.
Go wheelybarrow go. No house or pyramid can be built without the barrow. Ask Pharaoh mathematical formula. Sons of billionaires GMO Uhuru Raila go to sauna and relax.
Who wants to be involved with a Stone Age “wheelbarrow” party led by a bunch of useless kalenjin!
