by The sun blazed over Garissa as the people gathered, filling the open field with song, chants, and the flutter of yellow flags. For weeks, whispers of a grand endorsement had stirred the county, and now, history was unfolding.
Elders in flowing robes took the stage first, their voices heavy with authority. They spoke of trust, loyalty, and the need for leadership that could unite. When they finally raised Ali Korane’s hand, the crowd erupted. It was more than an endorsement—it was a covenant between the people and their chosen son.
From the podium, Korane looked across the sea of faces. Farmers, youth, mothers, and leaders—all waiting. He knew the journey ahead would not be easy. But with their faith and the backing of his party, he felt a surge of strength.
“This is only the beginning,” he said, his voice steady. “Together, we will reclaim our county’s promise.”
And in that moment, the people believed.
Garissa witnessed a significant political event this week as Ali Korane received the endorsement of the Abudwak Grand Council of Elders, along with official backing from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
The event, held in the presence of hundreds of residents, featured speeches from local leaders and UDA officials. Secretary General Hassan Omar emphasized the party’s confidence in Korane as their candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial race.
Clan endorsement, considered a critical step in Garissa politics, positions Korane as a strong contender ahead of the elections. The ceremony also underscored the party’s intention to field competitive candidates across all elective seats.
