Saturday, April 17, 2022 – Deputy President William Ruto has left his competitors, especially ODM Leader Raila Odinga, scratching his head following the large number of people who sought United Democratic Movement (UDA) tickets for various elective seats across the country.
This is after it emerged that over 5,000 aspirants sought the UDA tickets to vie for various seats in the just concluded party nominations held on Thursday.
The party carried out nominations in 33 counties.
The party has so far 33 governor candidates who will be gunning for the seats in the August 9 polls.
