The UDA National Elections Board (NEB) is set to conduct nationwide grassroots Party elections at the ward level, marking another significant milestone in strengthening the Party’s grassroots structures.
This exercise follows the successful and most elaborate grassroots elections ever conducted at the polling centre level, during which more than 543,000 Party officials were elected.
In every polling centre, Party members elected twenty (20) representatives comprising three (3) farmers, four (4) MSMEs representatives, three (3) professionals, two (2) members, three (3) religious representatives, four (4) youth representatives, and one (1) representative of Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
The twenty (20) elected officials from each polling centre will form the electoral college responsible for electing the UDA Ward Congress in each of the country’s 1,450 wards.
Chaired by Anthony Mwaura, the National Elections Board affirmed that the process, anchored in the UDA Party Constitution, is designed to strengthen the Party’s grassroots operational architecture ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The Board has also put in place mechanisms to accommodate the unique democratic dynamics of the North Eastern region while constituting the Party’s grassroots structures, ensuring an inclusive and representative electoral process.
Also present during the deliberations were Nominated MP Hon. Ali Abdisirat Khalif, the Board’s Vice Chairperson, and other Board members.
