Kenya: Mandago Clinches UDA Senatorial Nomination Ticket in Uasin Gishu

Some other big names in UDA who fell in the April 14, 2022 primaries include Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru who was seeking to be a Member of Parliament for Laikipia East, Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara who sought to retain her seat and Soy MP Caleb Kositany who was seeking to succeed Governor Jackson Mandago as Uasin Gishu Governor.

As results from the party primaries continue to trickle in, UDA Party’s Dispute Resolution Committee announced that it is ready to intervene and mediate over any disputes that will arise from the primaries.

Committee’s Chairperson Emmanuel Mumia said those raising complaints will however be required to pay a complaint fee before their grievances are addressed.

Mumia added that those raising complaints in the gubernatorial race will be required to pay Sh200, 000, Senatorial, Parliamentary and Woman Representative seat Sh100,000 and Member of County Assembly Sh20,000.

“Aspirants are required under the rules and procedures of the UDA dispute committee, the fees that should be paid before the committee can be properly seized of the complaint,” Mumia said.

He called on the aspirants to refrain from demonstrations or inciting their members and raise their complaints with the committee adding that the decision that the committee will deliver will be fair and just.

“Any member who have any issue, we kindly urge them to approach us as opposed to taking any other route. We are having situations where aspirants and their members are demonstrating at the party headquarters and the party offices. With this institution in place, it is the best route to take instead of demonstrations and confrontations,” Mumia said.
