The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party will on Sunday hold repeat elections in at least 10 wards, across three counties.
This follows recent grassroots elections that were held across five counties.
In Nairobi, the elections will be held in Kawangware, Nairobi Central, Pipeline, Pumwani, Landmawe, Kabiro and Imara Daima Wards.
The selection includes various positions for some Wards, while in others it will be in all positions.
In Busia county, repeat elections will be held in Marachi Central and Burumba Wards.
In West Pokot, the repeat elections will be held in Masool Ward, across all positions.
On May 8, UDA called for members interested in positions at the Ward level to submit their applications.
The elections in the five counties of Nairobi, Narok, West Pokot, Homabay, and Busia were set for May 18.
The party in its call insisted that elected or nominated MCAs must actively contest for the ward positions, reinforcing a merit-based approach within the party's structure.
“Note that elected or nominated MCAs must contest for the ward positions and are not automatic officials,” the statement signed by the National Elections Board (NEB) chairperson Anthony Mwaura reads.
The positions up for grabs encompassed a diverse spectrum of roles including Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson (each of opposite gender), Secretary and Deputy Secretary (each of opposite gender), treasurer and organizing Secretary.
A representative of Youth, Women, persons with disabilities (PWDs), MSMEs, farmers, religious groups, professionals and seven additional members (with at least three of the opposite gender).
The elections are being conducted following the conclusion of the grassroots elections under the first phase.
In Nairobi, the party has 853,000 registered members, Homa Bay (141,000), Narok (233,000), Busia (141,000) and West Pokot has 208,000.
