The ruling party, United Democratic Alliance (UDA), has invited bids from its members on various leadership positions ahead of upcoming ward-level elections.

In a statement on Wednesday, UDA Chairperson Antony Mwaura said the positions are open in all wards in Nairobi, Narok, West Pokot, Homabay, and Busia counties.

Mwaura said those seeking to contest the elections slated for May 18 have until May 15 to submit the required documents.

“Eligible members must be elected polling Centre officials or UDA-elected and nominated MCAs. Note that elected and nominated MCAs must contest for the ward positions and are not automatic officials.”

The positions include Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson, Secretary and Deputy Secretary, Treasurer and Organizing Secretary.
