Sakaja arrives at Bomas for Nairobi UDA delegates conference

Governor Johnson Sakaja has arrived at Bomas Kenya.

This is the venue for the Nairobi UDA conference, where he is planning on drumming support to be voted in as the party's chairperson ahead of Friday's elections.

Dressed in a navy blue suit with a yellow tie, Sakaja arrived at the venue at 11:45 am.

He was received by delegates, who were clad in yellow t-shirts and caps.

Sakaja was accompanied by Deputy Governor Njoroge Muchiri.

Back on April 26, Sakaja could not participate in the grassroots elections after the system rejected him.

Sakaja had gone to cast his vote at St Georges Primary School.

UDA's National Elections Board chairman Anthony Mwaura explained the incident saying technical challenges occurred as the system briefly failed to recognise Sakaja registration details.

Mwaura said Sakaja had registered as a member of the party using his Passport, but the issue had been sorted.
