In a notice dated January 21, 2026, the ruling party invited all qualified members interested in vying for elective seats to enrol in the UDA Aspirants’ Forum.
According to the party, the forum will deliberate and implement the mechanisms to conduct free, fair and transparent nominations of UDA candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
“The application portal (https://aspirants-forum.uda.ke/) will be officially open from Wednesday, January 21, 2026,” reads the notice signed by UDA National Elections Board Chairperson Anthony Mwaura.
Under the published fee schedule, aspirants for Member of County Assembly will pay Ksh2,000, while those eyeing parliamentary seats, including Members of Parliament, Woman Representatives and Senators, will pay Ksh5,000.
Gubernatorial aspirants will part with Ksh10,000, while presidential hopefuls will pay Ksh100,000.
