Strengthening international partnerships is at the heart of delivering the UDA's Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). It was in this spirit that Brazil's Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. João Alfredo dos Anjos Junior paid a courtesy call on the UDA Secretary General, Sen. Hassan Omar, at the UDA Headquarters, Hustler Plaza. The engagement reaffirmed a shared commitment to deepening the longstanding ties between Kenya and Brazil. Discussions spanned a range of issues of mutual interest, with particular emphasis on expanding bilateral trade, strengthening economic cooperation, and unlocking new avenues for closer engagement between the two countries. Sen. Omar observed that Kenya holds considerable potential to deepen its economic footprint in Brazil, notably by tapping into the vast Brazilian market to open opportunities for Kenyan producers, businesses, and exporters. He underscored the need to pursue practical pathways that translate the two nations' warm diplomatic relations into stronger commercial and people-to-people partnerships. Amb. João, on his part, stressed the importance of sustained dialogue and collaboration in identifying areas where Kenya and Brazil can draw mutual benefit from their respective strengths, markets, and opportunities. The Secretary General was joined by Party Directors.

UDA's operational architecture is anchored on continuous engagement with our elected leaders, who play a central role in bridging the grassroots and the Party. Today, UDA Members of Parliament drawn from Meru and Tharaka Nithi Counties held a consultative meeting centred on the ongoing Ward-Level Grassroots Elections and the broader political strategy ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

The Party's National Elections Board (NEB) Chairperson, Anthony Mwaura, took the leaders through the NEB's elections management plan and urged them to mobilise their constituents to participate fully in the grassroots electoral process. Governor Mbarire reaffirmed the Party's commitment to free, fair, credible and transparent internal Party polls. Present were H.E. Linda Kiome (Meru County Deputy Governor), Hon. Kathurima Murungi (Meru County Senator), Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri Constituency MP), Hon. John Paul (Igembe South MP), Hon. Julius Taitumu (Igembe North MP), Hon.
