Jubilee Party Accuses UDA of Running Away with Its Membership Data, Wants It De-Registered
The ruling Jubilee Party has accused the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) of running away with its membership data.
The President Uhuru Kenyatta-led party now wants the Office of the Register of Political Parties to deregister the UDA party associated with his deputy William Ruto.
Jubilee approached the Registrar of Political Parties, Anne Nderitu, to have UDA deregistered over claims of breaching the ruling party's databases.
The party also accused UDA of allegedly stealing up to two million of its membership data.
UDA secretary-general Veronica Maina in a statement on Saturday, February 5, dismissed the allegations saying that the party had embarked on vigorous recruitment of its members in all 47 counties.
"We understand the panic and attempts by the Jubilee Party to drag us into their party's resuscitation efforts. For a party that embarked on a vicious and systematic purge of its own members with high profile humiliation of parliamentary and party leadership, we are surprised that you now realise you do not have members," Maina said.
According to Jubilee deputy secretary-general Joshua Kutuny who doubles as the Cherang'any MP, the party had asked Nderitu's office to subject the UDA membership list to an audit.
He argued that some former Jubilee officials stole their data and handed it to Ruto's party.
