Nairobi, April 26 -- The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) grassroots party elections began on Friday with mixed results.

At St George's Primary School polling station in Nairobi, voting started at 9am, but the process of identifying party members proved challenging.

By 11am, only four people had voted and five were unable to vote because the system could not identify them.

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, who is vying for the Nairobi chairmanship, did not vote because the system rejected him.

At Lenana High School, voters turned up as early as 6am to vote for their candidates, only to be shocked to find that the clerk was not there.

Voters there have expressed their dissatisfaction and called on the party to postpone the election.
