In the upcoming August General Election, at least 23 gubernatorial aspirants will run on the United Democratic Alliance, which is chaired by the Deputy President (UDA).
Some gubernatorial candidates received automatic nominations, while others won them in fiercely contested nominations held around the country on Thursday.
UDA held gubernatorial elections in 13 counties, senatorial elections in 18 counties, and Woman Representative elections in 28 counties. Nominations for parliamentary places were scheduled in 138 constituencies, while MCA nominations were scheduled in 834 wards.
