The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) will hold grassroots elections in 20 counties on Saturday, January 10, 2026, to strengthen its local structures ahead of the 2027 General Election. This action follows previous elections the party held in 22 counties in April 2025. In parallel, the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), led by Rigathi Gachagua, is asserting its rise as a national force after securing three out of five MCA seats in recent by-elections. Gachagua highlighted these victories as evidence of increasing national popularity with an eye on the 2027 polls. As parties position themselves, the political battle for offices in Nairobi is intensifying with 20 months remaining, with the gubernatorial race attracting significant attention.
