The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has been conducting grassroots elections across various Kenyan counties. In August, the party’s National Elections Board cancelled elections at two polling centers in Garsen Central Ward—Kipao Primary School and Kipao Secondary School—due to reports of irregularities and disruptions, subsequently scheduling repeat elections.

By September, the party expanded its electoral activities, scheduling ward-level grassroots elections for September 26 in Bungoma, Tana River, and Kericho counties. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki highlighted the significance of these local structures, describing polling station officials as the “bosses” of the party who are essential for defending the ruling administration and communicating government achievements leading up to the 2027 General Election.
