The UDA nominations exercise was held on Thursday and counting exercises are ongonmg across the country.
Mwaura, who was eyeing the MP seat on the UDA ticket, together with his team dismissed the results saying there were some irregularities.
According to Mwaura, incumbent MP Simon Kingara rigged him out in the primaries.

He argues that results were the same in several polling stations, something he says is impossible to happen.
"As far as I am concerned this election is null and void," Mwaura said.
He accused the MP of botching the exercise claiming that the MP spent most of the time in a particular polling station contrary to the law.
"What we are demanding, first of all, is that we should have serious investigations. We are making a formal appeal and as far as we are concerned the UDA party should dismiss the results because it is null and void," he said.
He faulted the state for being part of the rigging claims saying the police aided the exercise.
"It is not fair after having invested for this exercise then receive this kind of shambolic exercise," he said.
Mwaura also lost the Jubilee nominations in the 2017 nominations to the incumbent and was able to be nominated.
