Pictured participating in the voting process, Ichung’wah attributed the low turnout to delays in the delivery of digital voting gadgets, assuring party members that measures would be taken to ensure a fair and transparent process.
Speaking to party supporters, Ichung’wah said the delayed arrival of voting equipment affected some polling centres, preventing members from casting their ballots on time.
He emphasised that the delays were logistical and not a reflection of voter enthusiasm or commitment to the party.
“We are aware that some polling centres in Kiambu experienced delays due to late delivery of digital voting devices,” Ichung’wah said.
“We are working to ensure that all party members have an opportunity to participate fully in this important exercise.”
The Majority Leader assured members that the party would allocate additional voting time where needed, allowing all registered members to cast their votes without facing undue pressure.
He highlighted that UDA is committed to upholding the principles of fairness, inclusivity, and transparency throughout the grassroots elections.
Ichung’wah also appealed to party supporters to remain patient and cooperative with election officials, noting that the temporary challenges would not affect the credibility of the process.
He said the party has put in place oversight mechanisms to ensure that all votes are counted accurately and that results reflect the true will of the members.
Political analysts say such logistical challenges are not uncommon during large-scale party elections, especially when digital voting systems are used for the first time in several areas.
They note that providing additional time and resources can help restore confidence among members and maintain the integrity of the process.
