Revealed:Names of DP Ruto’s Allies who’ve Secretly Registered New Party

Revelation that two new political parties with links to Deputy President William Ruto are in the works could threaten the already bad blood and suspicions in the Jubilee Party.

On Tuesday, the Registrar of Political parties Lucy Ndung’u told the Nation that United Green Party (UGP) and Grand Dream Development Party (GDDP) were recently issued with certificates of registration.

Names gathered by Daily Nation are associated with politicians from the Rift Valley.

“We have issued provisional registration certificate to the two parties but I cannot give you the details of the interim officials because I am not in office,” Ms Ndung’u said. She promised more information today.

A source at Ms Ndung’u’s office intimated that the DP’s lieutenants recently visited to finalise the registration of the new outfits.

The MPs linked to the party include Oscar Sudi (Kapsaret), Cornelly Serem (Aldai), Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei and Caleb Kositany (Soi) among others.

They have, however, declined to speak on the matter.

Asked about talk that someone had tried to revive URP party, Ms Ndung’u explained that this was not possible in law.

URP, Mr Ruto’s party and TNA led by Mr Kenyatta, were among some of the 12 parties which were dissolved in the run up to the August 8 elections creating the Jubilee Party.

The history of our politics is replete with politicians changing parties every so often, Mr Ruto having moved from ODM, a brief sojourn to UDM, URP and then to Jubilee in the last five years. This is not unique to him.
