Kawira Mwangaza launched Umoja na Maendeleo Party after losing her position as Meru governor through impeachment proceedings. The former county leader assumed control of the political organization previously managed by Martin Wambora. She expressed strong confidence that the party will secure multiple parliamentary and county assembly seats during the 2027 general elections. Mwangaza plans to field candidates in all upcoming by-elections, beginning with the Mbeere North constituency race. Her political strategy emphasizes fair nomination processes without favoritism among competing aspirants.
The ex-governor attributed her political troubles to lacking party affiliation during her tenure. She encourages Meru residents to remove from office those leaders responsible for her removal. Mwangaza maintains her innocence regarding impeachment charges and seeks justice through either court intervention or electoral victory in 2027. Her new party prioritizes supporting low-income citizens and politically ambitious youth lacking campaign resources. She highlighted her development achievements, citing dam construction and borehole installation projects across Meru County.
