Heavy rains force the UDA party to use choppers to deliver election materials as Kenyans are stuck in flood waters.

Kenyans on social media have expressed their disappointment at the ruling party for using choppers to deliver voting materials for their ongoing grassroots elections. 

The heavy rains in the country prompted the party to ferry the voting materials to the five counties, impairing transport activities as bridges and roads are flooded. 

According to the UDA party, the chopper left Nairobi to Narok where the materials were distributed to various polling centres in Emurua Dikir constituency.

However, the deployment of the chopper to deliver voting materials did not go down well with Kenyans who challenged the ruling party to use the same resources to rescue flood victims. 

An X user sarcastically applauded the party for using choppers instead of rescuing Kenyans trapped in floodwaters in various parts of the country. “It’s easier to deliver UDA polling materials upcountry than rescuing flood victims! Makofiiiiiii (claps),” he reacted. 

Another user said; I’m not surprised by UDA using a chopper to deliver those materials. It is evident their priority is not for the people of Kenya considering their recent priorities as a government. Why didn’t they use that chopper in Mathare to rescue those people on top of roof? 

The UDA party grassroots elections began on Friday, April 26, in Narok, Nairobi, Busia, West Pokot, and Homa Bay. 

UDA Secretary-General Cleophas Malala had on April 3 said the grassroots elections would be carried out in four phases from April to August.
