Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati is among the big guns who are attending the United Democratic Alliance Bomas meeting.
Wangamati lost his bid to be re-elected Bungoma governor last year after he was beaten by his predecessor Kenneth Lusaka.
He was running on the DAP- party ticket, a political outfit led by Former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and affiliated to Azimio.
Early this month, Wangamti was officially received by the UDA secretary general into the party.
“I’m excited to join the UDA party, it is a visionary party that has the best interests of the Mulembe nation at heart,” Wangamati said after being received into the party.
President William Ruto is on Friday leading the UDA elected and nominated leaders on the party's ticket for the first National Governing Council (NGC) since his victory last year.
UDA will on Friday front a raft of amendments to the party's constitution.
A programme released by the party shows that part of the agenda for the National Governing Council meeting underway at Bomas is to amend the Constitution.
While the specific amendments have not been disclosed, it is expected that the party will be seeking to expand its top brass leadership to strengthen structures ahead of the 2027 polls.
President Ruto is keen to build UDA into a gigantic machine that will propel his bid for a second term as the county's chief executive.
The party's vice chairperson Hassan Omar will lead the more than 2,000 delegates in passing the amendments seen as crucial in holding the party together amid quiet squabbles.
Already delegates have arrived at the Bomas auditorium in readiness for the business with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the precincts.
President Ruto who is the UDA party leader is expected to make his way into Bomas shortly to lead one of the party's major assignments.
Already there are reports that the NGC will approve changes to the constitution to create two more slots for the deputy party leader.
Currently, Gachagua is the sole deputy party leader.
The NGC is an organ that brings together all leaders elected on the UDA party ticket.
At the Bomas auditorium, UDA has set up 47 desks for the simulation exercise with the party seeking to demonstrate it's foolproof system that it bets on to deliver credible, free and fair elections.
The party is the country's largest single political outfit by the number of elected leaders with President Ruto under pressure to guarantee fairness in UDA's first-ever grassroots and national elections.
Party grassroots elections have previously triggered bitter and acrimonious fallouts which have gone ahead to affect their performance at national elections.
Those attending the meeting include governors, senators, members of the National Assembly and members of the County Assemblies elected on the UDA ticket.
UDA party is also holding the key meeting amid perceived rifts over calls to have all constituent parties in the Kenya Kwanza government merge ahead of the 2027 polls.
Ruto is seeking to build momentum by first fastening loose nuts within his UDA outfit which threaten his political ambitions.
