UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar has defended his controversial remarks about deceased voters, which triggered public outrage ahead of the 2027 general election. Speaking at a political rally in September, he appeared to suggest that the fingerprints of dead Kenyans could be used to cast ballots for President William Ruto. Appearing before the IEBC disciplinary committee, Omar rejected that interpretation, insisting he was speaking metaphorically to encourage greater voter registration.
