Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has been dealt a blow after the registrar of political parties Ann Nderitu declined to ratify changes effected by Jubilee party NDC held on May 22, 2023.
In a letter to the Jubilee party SG Jeremiah Kioni, Nderitu said his office is unable to address the substance of the Jubilee NDC resolutions made on May 22, 2023.
According to Nderitu, the documents submitted by Kioni's faction lacked a duly signed list of attendance with their identification Numbers (IDs) to ascertain the composition of the NDC and quorum in line with articles 8.1(1) and 23 of the Jubilee Party (JP) constitution respectively.
Nderitu further said the documents presented lacked comprehensive minutes of the NDC to inter alia determine the process and mode of election given that only an extract of minutes was submitted.
