Former Gender Cabinet Secretary and President William Ruto's ally Aisha Jumwa has joined the one-term movement days after quitting the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
The former CS will run for the Kilifi gubernatorial seat next year on a Wiper Patriotic Movement ticket after joining the party.
‘’I Aisha Jumwa, today declare that all the people of Kilifi and I are now the proponents of the one-term movement," said the former CS.
Speaking at her Kakuyuni residence when she welcomed Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Jumwa announced a massive deregistration exercise of UDA members who will join Wiper.
"We are the ones who registered UDA members in Kilifi, and we are embarking on a grassroots campaign to deregister them from UDA and join Wiper," she said.
Jumwa last month quit the ruling UDA party, citing humiliation and frustration over her bid to run for the Kilifi gubernatorial seat in 2027.
