UDA announces costs for tickets for aspirants seeking nomination for 2027
UDA announces costs for tickets for aspirants seeking nomination for 2027
Aspirants eyeing political seats on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket in 2027 must now dig deeper into their pockets following new fee requirements announced by the ruling party in a statement released on 21 January.
The UDA party has launched registration for its Aspirants’ Forum, introducing a tiered fee structure based on the elective position being sought.
Aspiring Members of the County Assembly(MCA) will pay the lowest amount at Ksh2,000 to secure their spot in the party’s nomination process for the upcoming polls.
Those targeting National Assembly seats, Women Representative positions, or Senate slots will each be required to part with Ksh5,000 to register as official aspirants under UDA.
Those eyeing the gubernatorial race face the highest cost, with the party setting the registration fee at KSh 10,000 for aspirants seeking the county governor seat on its ticket.
The party has made it clear that all these fees are non-refundable, meaning aspirants will lose their money regardless of the nomination outcome they receive.
Registration is being conducted exclusively online through the party’s official portal with payments accepted via M-Pesa or direct bank transfer to UDA accounts.

This fee structure is part of preparations for the Inaugural Aspirants Forum scheduled for February 4, at the State House, Nairobi, where nomination mechanisms will be discussed.
The forum aims to establish systems for what the party describes as “free, fair and transparent” nominations ahead of the 2027 General Election cycle across Kenya.
This move comes as the party conducts grassroots elections, with Phase III repeat elections scheduled for March 7, covering 20 counties, including Meru and Kiambu.
Phase II repeat polls are scheduled for March 28 and will be conducted across 22 counties, including Mombasa, Garissa, Kitui, and Kisumu, as part of the party’s internal reorganisation process.
The online registration portal for new aspirants to the Polling Centre Congress was opened on January 21 and is set to close on February 21.
