The High Court has ruled that the alleged resolution to dissolve the Amani National Congress (ANC) was unlawful and unconstitutional, affirming that the party continues to exist legally. The court ruled that the Gazette Notice issued by the Registrar of Political Parties, which purported to dissolve Amani National Congress, was unlawful, null, and void. The ruling confirms that Amani National Congress remains a duly registered political party, retaining all rights, obligations, and protections under the Constitution and relevant laws. The Registrar of Political Parties at the time, Anne Nderitu, subsequently published a Gazette Notice dated March 7, declaring ANC dissolved. However, the High Court found that the alleged resolution to dissolve the ANC did not meet constitutional and statutory thresholds.
