Wizara ya elimu inaamuru kufungwa kwa shule za msingi Emurua Dikirr mbele ya nominations za UDA

Wizara ya Elimu imetangaza kufungwa kwa shule zote za msingi katika eneo la Emurua Dikirr wiki ijayo ili kujiandaa kwa nominations za Chama cha United Democratic Alliance (UDA) kabla ya uchaguzi mdogo wa Mei. Katibu Mkuu Mkuu wa Elimu ya Msingi Julius Bitok alithibitisha uamuzi huo tarehe 21 Machi. Shule zitafungwa Ijumaa, Machi 27, ili kutoa nafasi kwa stesheni za kupiga kura.

Eneo la Emurua Dikirr halina mbunge baada ya kifo cha Johana Ngeno katika ajali ya helikopta Februari 28, 2026. Wizara ya Elimu imeruhusu shule za msingi kutumika kama stesheni za nominations za UDA tarehe 27 Machi, kulingana na barua iliyopokelewa tarehe 15. Bitok alisema: 'I want to confirm that on the 15th of this month, I received a letter from the UDA party requesting that primary schools in Emurua Dikirr constituency be used as polling stations for the purposes of the UDA primaries coming on the 27.' Aliongeza kuwa maagizo maalum yametolewa kwa wagombea ili kuepuka uharibifu wa mali za shule. Wizara inasisitiza ushikamano na itaruhusu vyama vingine pia. Bodi ya Uchaguzi ya Taifa ya UDA ilibadilisha nominations kutoka Machi 28 hadi Ijumaa 27, pamoja na Porro Ward katika Samburu West na Endo Ward katika Marakwet East. Maombi ya kugombea yalifunga Machi 20, na stesheni wazi saa 7 asubuhi hadi 5 jioni. IEBC ilithibitisha uchaguzi mdogo Mei 14, 2026. Vyama vinapaswa kuwasilisha majina ya wagombea kabla ya Machi 25, na IEBC itawahudumu Aprili 15-16. Kampeni zitaruhusiwa Aprili 15 hadi Mei 11.
