UDA to conduct repeat grassroots elections in Mombasa, Tana River on May 17
The announcement comes just four days after UDA officially opened the online registration portal for its Phase II Ward-level Grassroots Elections.
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has announced a repeat of its grassroots elections in Mombasa and Tana River Counties, following a review of the initial exercise conducted in April.
In a notice issued by UDA's National Elections Board (NEB) Chairman Anthony Mwaura, the party said the fresh polls will take place on May 17, 2025, from 9 am to 3 pm, at designated polling centres across the two counties.
