Nyali MP Mohammed Ali has stirred political waters after hinting at a potential exit from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), accusing party officials of betraying the people and democracy ahead of the 2027 elections.
Nyali MP Mohammed Ali warned that he was willing to lead his supporters out of Ruto’s party.
In a video statement on Thursday, April 10, the outspoken legislator said he and his team would not participate in the upcoming UDA grassroots elections scheduled for Saturday, April 12, in Mombasa county, citing manipulation and favoritism.
Ali pointed fingers at UDA secretary general Hassan Omar, accusing him of using his office to impose preferred candidates and undermine the will of party members at the grassroots.
He said those who worked hard to build the party from the ground up were being pushed out for remaining loyal to principles rather than individuals.
The Nyali lawmaker didn’t hold back as he declared his camp’s withdrawal from the grassroots polls and warned that if the situation remained unchanged, he would have no qualms leaving the party altogether.
“We officially withdraw. We will not participate. , and we will meet you at the time ordained by God. On that day, we will ask each other questions. We will hand over the party to you, but we will come back with the people. And when we face you, we will face you with the people, and we will ask you many questions.
If you have decided to ruin this party, then we will not be among those destroying it, we will leave it to you to ruin properly. We will not participate,” he declared.
Ali maintained that his loyalty lies with the people of Mombasa, and not with political players he accused of playing power games.
The two-term MP recounted his political journey, reminding his followers that he had won as an independent after leaving ODM, and would do so again if need be.
Ali urged his supporters across Mombasa to boycott the April 12 elections and instead stay home, accusing the process of being pre-arranged and undemocratic.
