UDA Secretary General, Senator Hassan Omar, spearheaded the Nyandarua exercise, aimed at educating party members on the electoral process and encouraging active participation at the local level.

The sensitisation exercise took place at Miharati Catholic Church in Kipipiri Constituency, forming part of a wider nationwide programme conducted across 20 counties expected to participate in the internal elections. 

In a statement shared on X on Friday, December 19, 2025, the party highlighted that the initiative seeks to enhance voter education, clarify electoral procedures, and strengthen grassroots structures ahead of the polls.

“UDA Secretary General Sen Hassan Omar attended the Nyandarua County pre-party grassroots election sensitisation exercise at Miharati Catholic Church, Kipipiri Constituency, ahead of the January 10 polls in 20 counties,” the statement read.

The exercise marks the conclusion of a three-week campaign across counties, with UDA leaders engaging members on electoral processes, the importance of participation, and the roles available at different levels of party leadership. 

National Elections Board Member Halake Dida oversaw the event, ensuring that party members received comprehensive guidance on the upcoming elections.

Senator Hassan Omar urged party supporters to set aside tribal tendencies and embrace inclusivity, stressing that unity is vital for achieving collective progress as championed by President William Ruto. 

“Our focus is to encourage fair participation, foster dialogue, and ensure that party members understand their roles in shaping the direction of UDA,” Omar noted during the event.

The Nyandarua meeting also brought together several national and county party officials, reflecting the strategic importance UDA places on grassroots mobilisation. 

Leaders used the platform to interact with supporters, listen to concerns, and motivate them to seek leadership positions at polling stations, ensuring that the internal electoral process is both participatory and transparent.

UDA National Treasurer Japheth Nyakundi expressed gratitude to Nyandarua residents for their continued support, while Executive Director Nicodemas Bore praised County Woman Representative Hon. Faith Wairimu for her commitment to party activities and leadership at the county level. 

The statements highlighted the central role of local leaders in mobilising supporters and promoting civic engagement.

During the sensitisation sessions, members also received guidance on electronic voting procedures, helping to demystify technological aspects of the election process. 

Many attendees took the opportunity to ask questions, seeking clarity on eligibility criteria, leadership roles, and the responsibilities of elected representatives within the party’s structures.

The campaign coincided with national recognition of development achievements in Nyandarua, with leaders praising President Ruto’s government for transforming the region’s road network, a feat that had been largely absent in previous administrations. 

The message reinforced the party’s commitment to local development while linking grassroots mobilisation with broader political objectives.
