Mandera elders re-launch own party

Mandera elders re-launch own party

Elders from Mandera County have re-launched their own party, Economic Development Party.

Speaking at the launch, the elders say the party will field candidates in all seats countrywide in the August General Election, saying the party was duly registered in 1998.

Mandera Senator, Billow Kerrow, is among members of party, although he will not vie for any seat due to negotiated democracy spearheaded by the elders as well as Hassan Noor who is eyeing governor seat.

Issack Hassan Abey is the party chairman, Abdullahi Abdinoor Gessey the Secretary General and former Narc Kenya Executive Director Sande Oyolo is the EFP CEO.

The party has received five incumbent MCAs from Mandera County who say they have defected to EFP.
