On Wednesday, the Jubilee Party kicked off a process that would see five of its nominated Senators lose their seats. Replacing, the targeted five nominated Senators, once the process is complete, is a walk in the park for the Jubilee Party, as there already exists a list of candidates. The IEBC is the custodians of the Partly Lists, which are used to allocate slots for the nominated seats in Parliament as well as County Assemblies. On Wednesday, the party sent show-cause letters to Millicent Omanga, Falhada Iman, Jillo Waqo, Victor Prengei and Mary Seneta. While it is not easy for a party to replace an elected leader when they lose their seat, the Elections Act makes it easy for nominated legislators to be replaced.
