NAIROBI, Kenya — The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties has opened a seven-day window for public objections after four political parties applied for provisional registration to join Kenya’s political landscape.
Registrar John Lorionokou said the applications were submitted by the National Forum Party, Clean Alliance Party of Kenya, New Face Party of Kenya, and Mwongozo Mpya Party. The parties will proceed to the next stage of registration if no valid objections are lodged within the stipulated period.
The proposed National Forum Party (NFP), founded by James Munene Thuku, Elizaphan Mwangi Kamau and Chiboli Clare Muhele, has selected green, black, and red as its party colours. The party proposes an aspire mark as its symbol and the slogan “Tuko One, Tuko True.”
The Clean Alliance Party of Kenya (CAP-K), founded by Margaret Nekesa Barasa, Andrew Kimani Kamau, and Ezekiel Nyameino Bosire, has proposed green, white, yellow, and dark blue as its colours. Its symbol is a sweeping brush, while its slogans include “Kenya,” “Sauti ya,” and “Haki.”
The New Face Party of Kenya (FACE) has listed brown, black, and white as its colours and proposed a Bluetooth symbol. Its founding members are Delvine Moraa John, Anguche Elvis Kongoti, and Tarasila Kawiria M’Liburu. The party’s slogan is “Sauti ya Mwananchi, Nguzo ya Taifa.”
Mwongozo Mpya Party (MMP), founded by Macharia Njeru, Fatuma Ali Saman, Vincent Kibet Kiptoo, Annabel Njoki Mwangi, Hellen Keis, and Steve Owuor Odera, has selected olive green, burnt orange, and black as its colours. The party proposes a phoenix as its symbol and the slogans “Mwongozo Mpya” and “Sote Pamoja.”
Lorionokou said details of the proposed parties have been published for public scrutiny, allowing individuals or institutions to submit objections in writing or in person within seven days of publication.
“Any objections may be presented from the date of publication of this notice in writing or in person within seven (7) days,” he said.
Submissions are to be addressed to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties at Lion Place, off Waiyaki Way in Nairobi, or sent via official ORPP email channels.
The ORPP, established under Section 33 of the Political Parties Act and recognised as a State office under Article 260 of the Constitution, is mandated to register and regulate political parties and administer the Political Parties Fund.
The move signals continued political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election, with new outfits seeking entry into an increasingly competitive multiparty landscape.
