“The nominations will be held in all electoral areas where there is more than one paid up candidate, and other forms of nominations like consensus have not been applied.”
Mwaura said the Education ministry has approved their request to use schools as nomination centres.
“Kindly note that in some areas there are candidates who were not opposed, or aspirants opted for consensus,” he said, adding: “The data we have shows that the party will participate in the general election in all 47 counties.”
UDA warned that it will disqualify candidates who engage in violence, “especially against women aspirants”.
