Wamunyinyi was also suspended.<\/p>\n<p>The two warring factions then trooped to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties to file documents as the bonafide office holder.On June 4, the Registrar, in her arbitration of the dispute that has rocked one of Kenya\u2019s oldest political parties, dealt Wetang\u2019ula a blow after noting the National Executive Council (NEC)\u00a0that ratified his own version of the coup did not meet a quorum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The NEC and PG meeting held on May 31 did not meet the applicable quorum to hear and determine disciplinary matters and the Statutory form PP7 on Notice of Change of Party officials was not filed,&#8221; she wrote to\u00a0Wetang\u2019ula.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Nderitu, on the other hand, asked Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi\u2019s team to rectify the anomaly observed in the statutory PP7 form, where a member who was not authorised to sign the document signed it.&#8221;The statutory form PP7 was not properly signed by the authorised officials as per the records held by this office. In this regard, you are kindly guided to address the issue highlighted above and appraise us on the same,&#8221; said Nderitu in a letter to Ford Kenya Secretary General Eseli Simiyu.<\/p>\n<p>Wamunyinyi\u2019s team regrouped, resubmitted the amended Form PP7 and published the notification of the changes in the dailies as required by the Political Parties Act.The submissions invoked by the registrar, if unchallenged, is the last stage of changing party leadership according to Section 20 of the Political Parties Act.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The political party may, after taking into account any representations received from the public under subsection (1) and (2), effect the change or alteration in accordance with its constitution and rules,&#8221; the Act states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Embattled Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang\u2019ula\u00a0(pictured)\u00a0has seven days effective today to save himself from ouster from the Ford Kenya party leadership.
