Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has officially welcomed veteran lawyer Nelson Havi to the Tawr movement, days after Havi resigned from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
Natembeya hailed Havi’s decision as a bold move, framing it as a win for political diversity and a sign that young and experienced leaders can come together to build a new vision for Kenya.
Natembeya shared his message of support publicly, saying “Karibu sana Wakili Nelson Havi kwa Tawe Nation,” signaling that the Tawe movement is now open to voices committed to national reform and community empowerment.
The move has quickly grabbed attention, especially given Havi’s high-profile exit from UDA and his outspoken stance on governance and accountability. More details on the development are available here.
The governor emphasized that Havi’s arrival strengthens Tawe’s position in shaping public discourse and offering an alternative to the dominant political narratives.
Natembeya noted that Havi brings a mix of legal expertise, leadership experience, and youth appeal that can help galvanize citizens frustrated with traditional party politics.
Political observers say the timing of Havi’s move is crucial, coming as by-elections loom in several key counties, and as the country navigates tensions between opposition and ruling party forces.
Natembeya argued that Kenya needs more inclusive political platforms where issues like community development, transparency, and citizen engagement are prioritized over ethnic or partisan politics.
Tawe Nation, under Natembeya’s leadership, has positioned itself as a space for dialogue and problem-solving, focusing on grassroots concerns.
The addition of Havi is expected to boost credibility among professionals, youth activists, and voters who have been seeking new political alternatives.
Natembeya also stressed that the movement remains committed to open dialogue and direct engagement with citizens, aiming to empower communities to take part in shaping policies that affect their daily lives.
He encouraged other leaders to follow suit, saying Kenya’s future depends on collaboration, integrity, and putting the people first.
The move signals a new chapter for Tawe Nation, suggesting a growing influence in national politics as it attracts prominent figures seeking reform-minded platforms.
