DAN MAANZO: Linda Mwananchi registration must proceed after court ruling
Kenyan politician Dan Maanzo asserts that the registration of the 'Linda Mwananchi' party must proceed following a court ruling. He urges the Registrar of Political Parties to finalize the paperwork to allow Senator Sifuna to launch his presidential bid.
Why it matters
The registration of new political parties is a critical component of Kenya's democratic process and upcoming electoral landscape.
First of all, we are very happy as the United Alternative Government that Sifuna has been registered. We really wanted the United Opposition to be strong and that means all our partners must be strong. I am happy Sifuna is finally going to have a very popular party. The Registrar of Political Parties cannot disobey the court. He has to obey the ruling, which gave the Linda Mwananchi the greenlight for registration.
I have looked at all the issues. In fact, the other issue that was stopping him was an initial issue. This one is proper. Linda Mwanachi will be a party very different from any other party because of the name Mwanachi.
