Nandi: ORPP urged to ease party registration process.

A section of aspirants in Nandi want the Office of Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) to make the party registration efficient to voters.

The candidate vying on United Democratic Party (UDA) claimed that inaccessibility of the internet and low literacy threatens to derail the voter’s deregistration and subscription of the new parties process.

Speaking during a consultative meeting in Kapsabet, the aspirants urged the ORPP to either suspend the registration exercise or alternatively use the efficient model to be accessed by the voters.

Led by Chemundu- Kapngetuny ward aspirant Julius Kipruto, they said that majority of citizens have no individual accounts in the E-citizen sites thus found difficult for them to participate in the forthcoming party primaries scheduled to take place in April.

“In less than two months we shall have party nominations and we are calling upon the ORPP to restore their site to effect the pending registration process. Voters have raised concern over the delay and also massive errors in the registration where some find themselves registered in other parties without their consent,” Kipruto claimed.

However, the aspirants urged the UDA party officials to assure for free and fare nomination process.
