The Deputy President William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has acquired a new office in Nairobi.

According to sources who spoke to this journalist, the new office at the Edulink building along Ngong Road will be the party's new headquarters.

The five-storey building will include the offices of the party leader (Ruto), the chairman (Johnstone Mutahama), and the secretary-general of the party Veronica Maina.

The development comes amid reports that there was a plan to evacuate the DP from his official Karen residence over renovations.

Speaking on Tuesday during the signing of an agreement by 12 parties forming the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, the DP said that renovations were not a priority.

"I understand we will have a new Deputy President in a few months, but I also understand that he/she will be a Kenya Kwanza politician.

"Therefore, I want to tell the good people planning the renovations that for Kenya Kwanza, refurbishment of the DP's residence is not a priority," the DP stated.

He said that the priority at the moment was to sort out the hunger affecting 3 million Kenyans who are sleeping hungry.
