Mdvd and Weta have refused to dissolve their parties and join UDA

Wakae ngumu. They got their positions because they had ANC and Ford K parties. They should not be like tugeges who are squatters in UDA at the mercy of their hosts.

Would they have to seek a fresh mandate (an election) if they resolved/left their current parties under which they were elected ?

Yes. If the party that nominated you no longer exists, then your nomination becomes null and void.

2026-2027 will be intresting,Madvd will demand the Deputy President sit from Ruto
