Starehe MP Jaguar Officially Joins Ruto's UDA

News of his move to the Ruto-led party was announced on Twitter, Monday, by the United Democratic Alliance.

"Welcome to the Hustler Nation Hon Charles Njagua AKA Jaguar, MP Starehe Constituency," UDA said in a tweet.

The singer turned politician was welcomed to UDA by DP Ruto in the company of MPs Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu) and Oscar Sudi (Kapseret).

Jaguar had previously enjoyed close ties with the Deputy President and went around the country campaigning for his 2022 presidential bid before he ditched the DP's camp.

He has not been seen around Ruto or MPs allied to him in months.

Jaguar's move comes a few days after comedian Jasper Muthomi, alias Mc Jessy, announced he will be vying for the Imenti South parliamentary seat on a UDA party ticket.

The comedian confirmed on Wednesday that he has officially joined DP William Ruto-led party after wider consultations.

"It’s now clear where the vision is heading. After many days of consultative meetings with my South Imenti people, I have officially been invited to join UDA," he said.

The Starehe MP's move is a plus for the DP after teaming up with the Amani National Congress party on Sunday.
