Party activity
KISII, Kenya, Oct 16 — The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has launched a grassroots mobilisation drive in Nyamira and Kisii, targeting to recruit about 47,000 village-level officials as it seeks to strengthen its presence ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The party is conducting grassroots elections aimed at recruiting at least 20 members from every polling centre and assigning them responsibilities to mobilise support and coordinate its activities at the local level.
Speaking during the ongoing exercise, UDA National Treasurer Japhet Nyakundi, who is leading the party’s national office team in the races, said the officials would be drawn from different socioeconomic groups within their respective communities.
