The remaining counties, including Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Isiolo, Taita Taveta, Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Lamu, and Tana River, will hold their elections on April 12.
Mwaura urged all aspirants and participants to register ahead of the elections.
The announcement comes after the party postponed the elections, which were originally scheduled for December 9, 2024.
"Following a National Steering Council meeting held on November 18, UDA Party wishes to notify all members and aspirants that the grassroots elections scheduled for December have been postponed," former Secretary-General Cleophas Malala announced at the time, without providing a concrete reason for the delay.
The first phase of the elections took place on April 26, 2024, in Nairobi, Busia, Narok, West Pokot, and Homa Bay counties.
