The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has postponed elections in 20 centers following heavy rains that have caused flooding in the country.
In a statement, UDA National Elections Board Chairperson Anthony Mwaura said the grassroots elections would take place on today, Sunday, May 5, 2024.

In Pokot South, UDA polling was postponed at Kapchikar Primary School - Tapach Ward, Nyarkulian Primary School - Tapach Ward, and Tororo Primary School - Tapach Ward.
In Narok North, the primary elections have been postponed at Oyarata polling station, Olopirik polling station, Ilpoltol polling station, Entiyani polling station, and Medungi polling station.
This comes days after the UDA party announced that it would re-run elections in areas where polling was not held or was inconclusive due to flooding in the country.
“We have resolved that in the interest of justice and fairness, we hold repeat elections in the selected areas where voting did not take part entirely or was not conclusive. We have thus planned to hold elections in 538 polling centers on Saturday, May 4, 2024. We are certain that given the limited number of polling centers, we will be able to cover the areas,” Mwaura announced.
