The Jubilee Party has accused the government of economic mismanagement and rising fuel costs, warning that Kenya is “walking into a crisis.” Party leaders led by Fred Matiang’i have called for the rejection of the Finance Bill 2026, citing worsening cost of living, alleged governance failures and growing public anger over transport disruptions.
UDA has defended the latest fuel price adjustments, saying government interventions have helped stabilise fuel supply and cushion Kenyans from the effects of the global oil crisis triggered by international conflicts and disruptions in key supply routes.
UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar Hassan says the party’s victories in three by-elections reflect growing public confidence in President William Ruto’s broad-based government and its development agenda.
UDA has issued the Ol Kalou Constituency by-election nomination certificate to Samuel Muchina Nyagah, with party leaders expressing confidence in victory and calling for peaceful campaigns focused on development and service delivery.
