Low Voter Turnout Mars UDA Grassroots Elections in 18 Counties - March 2026

United Democratic Alliance (UDA) grassroots elections held in 18 counties on Saturday, March 15, 2026, were characterized by low voter turnout and technical hitches with biometric systems in some areas. The upcoming 2027 Kenyan elections are set to feature a notable rise of political dynasties, with second and third-generation members of prominent political families vying for elective seats. President William Ruto effectively utilized the 'Hustlers versus Dynasties' slogan to win the 2022 Kenyan general election by positioning himself as a champion of ordinary citizens against established political families.
