Hassan Omar Pledges to Use Simpler Language in Campaigns
UDA Secretary-General commits to clearer messaging
Hassan Omar, Secretary-General of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), has pledged to use simpler language during political campaigns to avoid misunderstandings and tensions.
Omar made the commitment after appearing before the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee, which summoned him over allegations that he suggested the ruling party would use biometric data of deceased voters to secure President William Ruto's re-election.
The UDA official maintained that his remarks were taken out of context and were meant as a joke. He attributed the backlash to political competition and spinning of statements by opposition rivals.
