The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) held grassroots elections across 20 counties, in an exercise characterized by low voter turnout and delayed delivery of election materials. President William Ruto cast his vote at Koilel Primary School in Ainabkoi, Uasin Gishu County. However, the party primaries held on Saturday were marred by chaos, confusion, and accusations of rigging. These disruptions were particularly noted in Mumias East Constituency in Kakamega County and parts of Bomet. The troubled exercise has raised concerns about the party's strength ahead of the 2027 General Election. Amidst these party polls, Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka was appointed to coordinate President William Ruto's 2027 re-election campaign in the Western Region, pledging to mobilize grassroots support.
