Gloria Orwoba's inevitable ouster from the Senate was confirmed on Wednesday, May 21, after Senate Speaker Amason Kingi declared her seat vacant, paving the way for her replacement under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket.
In a gazette notice dated May 21, Kingi announced Orwoba's seat was vacant effective immediately. "It is notified for the general information of the public that pursuant to Article 101(2) of the Constitution of Kenya, a seat of the Member of the Senate elected under Article 98(1)(b) of the Constitution, held by Senator Gloria Orwoba, has become vacant with effect from the 21st May, 2025," the gazette notice read.
The new development came barely 48 hours after the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) disciplinary committee dismissed the nominated Senator from the party, ostensibly meaning the vocal legislator will lose her seat in Parliament.
Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba following committee proceedings on April 21, 2023.
