How To Check Political Party Registration In Kenya
The lifeline of a political party is on its members. The Political Parties Act places members at the core of Kenyan parties so as to allow them to play roles in the society.
Since a political party is a legal entity with its own rights and responsibilities, it has a liberty within its constitution to decide who and the criteria one needs to satisfy to become a member. But all members must be Kenyan citizens and registered voters. A person shall not be a member of more than one political party at the same time.
The Registrar is the custodian of all the political parties membership database.
It is an offence to register a person as a member of a political party without their consent. A political party must at any time keep updated and accurate party membership list to be available for the members and the public at the party head office and all party county offices.
