The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has picked businessman Urbanus Ngengele (pictured) as its flag bearer in the upcoming Machakos Senatorial by-election scheduled for March 18. The party therefore undertakes to field Ngengele to face off with other aspirants in the by election,” Muthama said. He said out of the sixteen aspirants, two expressed dissatisfaction with the polls, and were accorded the liberty to run as independent candidates. A total of sixteen aspirants had lined up to seek UDA's nomination for the by-election. UDA named their candidate a day after Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper party unveiled Muthama’s ex-wife, Agnes Kavindu as the choice of candidate for the by election.
