Maendeleo Chap Chap, has moved to court seeking orders to stay the gazette notice of April 14 2022 which listed the party as a member of the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition party.
Through an application filed at the political parties disputes tribunal at Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi, the applicant Martin Mugo Maina claims the Registrar of Political parties listed Maendeleo Chap Chap party without procedural compliance and without the sanction of the relevant organ of the party and thus such coalition is a null and void.
“The 2nd Respondent unlawfully listed the Interested Party as a member party to the 1st Respondent vide its gazette notice of 14th April 2022 without the ratification of such a resolution and without the procedural compliance of the party constitution” read the application in part.
The petitioner through a certificate of urgency documents filed in court claims if the court does not stay the gazette notice, the party maybe locked out of an opportunity to form and enter into coalition with other parties.
“That consequently, the Applicant is legitimately apprehensive that the interested party may be locked out of an opportunity to form and/or enter into a coalition if the conservatory orders sought herein are not granted by virtue of the presumptive position that they a member of a Coalition party, the 1 Respondent,” the application further said.
The application has been slated to proceed in the party disputes tribunal.
