Daily NationThe publication reported on the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties' decision to reject the application for registration of political parties under the name Gen Z. People's scramble to cash in on the Gen Z wave moved into top gear with more than 20 applications for name reservations in preparation for the 2027 polls. However, she disclosed that all applications, starting with the words Gen Z, have been rejected as they violate the law, especially Article 91(1)(a)(e) of the Constitution on basic requirements for political parties. However, we have not reserved any name starting with Gen Z because that would be violating the Constitution,” said Nderitu. For instance, Simon Maina Mwangi wanted to reserve 10 names, including, Gen-Z Movement, Gen Z National Movement, Gen Z People’s Alliance, Gen Z Peoples Movement, Gen Democratic Party, Gen Z Alliance Movement, Gen Z Democratic Movement, Gen Z United Movement, Gen Z Political Party and Gen Z Alliance Party.
