Last week, the Registrar of Political Parties stopped party members from amending the outfit’s constitution. The party had on August 6, notified the public through the media of the proposed change to its constitution, rules and regulations. Mudavadi had been sworn in as the party leader under the now contentious new constitution for the next five years. The proposed constitution designated the party leader the automatic chair of the NDC and also chair of Amani Council. “The proposed changes shall only take effect upon conclusive satisfaction of the processes envisaged under the ANC party constitution and Section 20 of the Political Parties Act,” Nderitu said in her August 19 letter.
