The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has announced that it will conduct phased repeat grassroots elections in March.
In a statement on Wednesday, January 21, the party said the repeat elections will cover 42 counties and will be conducted in two separate phases.
“The UDA party will conduct repeat elections in select polling centers across 42 counties: Phase III elections on March 7, 2026, and Phase II elections on March 28, 2026,” read the statement in part.
The ruling party urged candidates wishing to seek positions during the elections to visit the party’s website to register themselves.
At the same time, the party announced that it will convene a Special National Governing Council meeting on Monday, January 26, at State House, bringing together all elected and nominated UDA leaders.
The special meeting will be chaired by the UDA party leader and President, William Ruto.
“Consequently, the party will hold a Special National Governing Council (NGC) meeting on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 8:00 AM at State House, Nairobi. The NGC brings together all UDA elected leaders (Governors, Deputy Governors, Senators, Members of the National Assembly, Women Representatives, Representatives to the EALA, and MCAs) and nominated leaders,” UDA stated.
During the meeting, the National Governing Council will ratify the National Executive Committee (NEC) resolution, which mandated President Ruto to commence negotiations with the ODM party.
The council will receive a scorecard of the progress of the implementation of the Kenya Kwanza government’s manifesto.
Further, the party announced that its National Steering Committee has resolved to establish a ‘UDA Aspirants Forum’ to accommodate the growing number of individuals seeking to vie for elective positions.
“To this end, the Party will open a portal for aspirant registration today. The inaugural aspirants’ forum meeting is scheduled for February 4, 2026, at 8:00 AM at State House, Nairobi. A corresponding notice will be issued later,” the statement further read.
