United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary-General has reportedly endorsed Turkana Governor Jerry as the party’s preferred candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election.

The reported endorsement is expected to trigger fresh political debate in Turkana County as political parties and aspirants position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The move could give Governor Jerry a significant boost as he seeks to retain the governor’s seat on the UDA ticket, while also setting the stage for possible realignments within the county’s political landscape.

The development comes at a time when the race for the Turkana governorship is expected to attract heightened political activity, with aspirants likely to intensify mobilisation and consultations ahead of the nominations.

The reported backing by the party’s national leadership also raises questions about the future of other politicians eyeing the UDA ticket and whether they will support the governor’s re-election bid or seek alternative political platforms.

However, details surrounding the reported endorsement, including whether it represents a formal party position or political support ahead of the nominations, remain subject to clarification.

The development is likely to shape conversations within UDA and across Turkana as the 2027 political contest begins to take shape.
