An office physical location verification exercise is being undertaken for two provisionally registered political parties as part of legal requirement for full registration. Led by the Registrar of Political Parties, Ann Nderitu, the nine teams will cluster counties in the Coast, Lower Eastern, Upper Eastern, Western, South Nyanza, Rift Valley, Central, Nakuru and the Nairobi metropolis regions. The parties are also required to have submitted the required records and particulars to the Registrar of Political parties in the prescribed format. Currently, there are 71 full registered and 9 provisionally registered political parties. Upon full registration, a political party attains its corporate status hence is required to operate in full fidelity of law and fiduciary corporate responsibilities in line with principles of good governance.
