The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has expressed confidence in how its Saturday nominations, aimed at selecting candidates to fly the party's flag in the upcoming by-elections, were conducted.
Speaking at the party's headquarters in Nairobi, UDA National Elections Board chairman Anthony Mwaura said the transparency achieved in the nominations was courtesy of the electronic voting system the party employed "for the first time."
"This marks a significant milestone for our party as we embrace technology to make our internal democracy more accurate, transparent, verifiable and efficient," he said.
The nominations were held for the senatorial seat in Baringo County and the Member of National Assembly seat in Malava Constituency.
UDA also conducted primaries for Members of County Assembly in Kariobangi Ward (Nairobi City County), Kisa East Ward (Kakamega County), Tembelio Ward (Uasin Gishu County) and Metkei Ward (Elgeyo Marakwet County).
