The growing dissatisfaction is now raising concerns about possible divisions inside the ruling party as political temperatures continue rising ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The broad-based government arrangement was formed following political engagements between allies of President William Ruto and sections of the opposition in an effort to reduce political tensions and promote national unity after months of confrontational politics.
Supporters of the agreement argued that cooperation between government and opposition leaders would help stabilize the country, improve development, and allow leaders to focus on economic recovery and national challenges affecting ordinary citizens.
However, some loyal supporters of the ruling coalition now believe the arrangement has weakened the party’s political identity and created confusion among voters and grassroots mobilizers.
During recent political meetings, frustrated supporters accused senior leaders of sidelining loyal party members while accommodating individuals who previously criticized the government.
Some argued that the partnership has blurred the line between government and opposition, making it increasingly difficult for party supporters to explain the administration’s political direction to voters.
Others claimed that many ordinary supporters who campaigned for the ruling party feel abandoned as political elites continue benefiting from government appointments and power-sharing arrangements.
Political analysts say the emerging frustrations could become a major challenge for the ruling coalition if the concerns are not addressed early.

According to observers, dissatisfaction among grassroots supporters often affects party unity, campaign morale, and voter confidence during election periods.
Despite the criticism, leaders backing the broad-based arrangement continue defending it as necessary for national stability and economic progress.

They insist that political cooperation is better than prolonged confrontations that could slow development projects and create instability.
At the same time, opposition figures who entered into working agreements with the government maintain that the partnership is intended to address national problems rather than advance personal political interests.
The debate has continued generating mixed reactions across the country, with some Kenyans praising the spirit of cooperation while others view it as a betrayal of opposition politics and campaign promises made during previous elections.
As pressure builds within the ruling camp, political observers are now closely watching whether UDA leaders will manage to contain the growing dissatisfaction or whether the disagreements could evolve into deeper internal political divisions in the months ahead.
