She pledged to continue working towards expanding the party's reach and building its structures in different parts of Kenya.
"I remain committed to serving our people and strengthening our Party across Kenya," she added.
This comes days after Bishop Wanjiru explained her decision to leave the UDA Party.
Speaking on Tuesday, September 22, she said her decision to quit UDA was not solely based on how she was treated but on broader challenges facing Kenyans.
Bishop Wanjiru argued that farmers, the people in the transport sector, preachers, and businesspeople are all struggling under the current administration.
"The things they have done in this country are unbecoming. We cannot pray for you, cleanse you, promote you, and market you, and then you come and destroy us; it’s not acceptable.
"People are crying in this country, farmers are crying, people in the transport sector are crying, we preachers are crying, business people are crying, the economy is shrinking every day, and you want us to laugh about it?" she posed.
Bishop Wanjiru warned President William Ruto that the people who helped him get power can also vote him out of office in the 2027 General Election.
"If we had the capacity and the ability to bring you to power, we still have the capacity to get you out of power," said Bishop Wanjiru.
Further, Bishop Wanjiru accused the current administration of deception, saying she was promised a Cabinet Secretary position but was not appointed.
"Bringing all those votes, they said I would be given a CS position. But they didn’t. That is deception," said Wanjiru.
