The Senate has declared the seat held by Gloria Orwoba vacant following her expulsion from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party.
In a gazette notice dated Wednesday, May 21, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi confirmed the vacancy, effective immediately.
This comes after UDA's National Executive Committee ratified a decision by its Disciplinary Committee to expel Orwoba from the party during a meeting held on May 19. "During its meeting on May 19, 2025, the National Executive Committee of the party adopted and ratified the Disciplinary Committee's decision.
Accordingly, Sen Gloria Orwoba ceased to be a member of the UDA party," said party Secretary-General Omar Hassan.
