On Friday, the Kenya Kwanza Coalition, led by Deputy President William Ruto, will hold a women’s conference at Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium.
The group has also requested media organizations to send an all-woman team to cover the event, which is an unusual occurrence for press coverage of the event.
According to the coalition, the decision to have female journalists cover the event is part of commemorating the role women play in numerous areas.
In a media invite, UDA Communications Director Wanjohi Githae remarked, “We encourage your Media House/Online News Blog to deploy an all Women Crew as we seek to celebrate and highlight the important role played by Women in all sectors.”
The signing of the Kenya Kwanza Women Charter is set to take place at the event to be attended by the coalition’s presidential flag bearer William Ruto.
This comes days after the launch of the UDA Women’s League at a Nairobi on Sunday.
During the launch of the UDA Women’s League, Ruto said his party is banking on the support of women to win the August 9 polls.
“UDA is a women’s party. It has the largest representation of women across the board. All opinion polls indicate UDA is the most popular party in Kenya and has a record majority of women,” said Ruto
