Jubilee, Kanu risk deregistration over missing county offices
The political parties also risk being locked out of the 2027 General Election.
Two major political parties in Kenya, Jubilee and Kanu, face the risk of deregistration due to their failure to establish physical offices in at least 24 counties, as mandated by the Political Parties Act (PPA). This development comes from the Auditor-General, Nancy Gathungu, who highlighted the parties' non-compliance with statutory requirements.
Despite receiving annual funding from the government to finance their operations, including establishing offices, Jubilee and Kanu have not met this crucial criterion. This situation is further exacerbated by the fact that over 2.7 million Kenyans are experiencing severe food insecurity. Concurrently, a school suspended all learners who visited a nearby dispensary during an alleged arson discussion. Kenya is poised to make history as the first African nation to host a global event.
