Mohamed Haji Apologizes to Northern Kenya Leaders, Quits DCP Party for UDA

Mohamed Haji, who recently came under fire for remarks perceived as insulting leaders from Northern Kenya, including Health cabinet secretary Aden Duale, has issued a public apology and announced his exit from the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).
Haji made the controversial statements after a church service held in Mathioya, remarks that sparked backlash from leaders and residents across the region.
In a fresh political turnaround, Haji has now distanced himself from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and the DCP party, saying the outfit is founded on insults and lacks a clear political future.
He claimed the party has no grassroots support and predicted that it will not win any elective seat in the next general election.
“I want to apologise to all leaders and residents of Northern Kenya who were offended by my earlier remarks. I have reflected and chosen a new political path,” Haji said.
He further announced that he has officially joined the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), the ruling party led by President William Samoei Ruto, citing the party’s national outlook and development agenda.
Haji said his decision was driven by a desire to support unity, respect among leaders, and inclusive politics.
