Karen Nyamu Calls for Removal of UDA SG Hassan Omar Over 'Dead Voters' Remarks

Karen Nyamu, a nominated senator in Kenya, called for the removal of Hassan Omar, the UDA Secretary General, following his controversial remarks about using the fingerprints of deceased voters to cast ballots. Omar had suggested that votes could be cast for the dead by collecting their fingerprints before burial, which sparked public outrage. Nyamu stated that his comments, which do not represent the official stance of the party, could cause confusion and damage the party’s reputation, urging party structures to take firm action including removing him from his position.
