Political parties to present nomination rules by midnight

Political parties have until Thursday, March 2 midnight to present their nomination rules to the electoral body.

The parties are supposed to present their harmonized rules that will be used in the party primaries to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) by midnight.

According to the IEBC, the rules will be binding and will govern individual party’s nominations process.

The rules submission will be followed by preparation and depositing of membership list to the IEBC by March 19.

According to IEBC boss, Wafula Wanyonyi Chebukati, the nomination rules and party list will avert mischief by political parties and will also help reduce the number of disputes that may arise before the August 8 General Election.

The commission is thereafter required to review the rules to ensure compliance.

The nominations have been set for April 13 – 16, 2017.
