But according to Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) Ann Nderitu, PDR has not changed its officials but is only in the process of changing its name and symbols. “UDA is PDR that changed its name, it is not really a new party and the process of name change is still on,” Nderitu said on phone. In the gazette notice, the party also sought to change its symbol from a bull to a wheelbarrow with Kazi Ni Kazi as its slogan. “In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 20 (i) of the Political Parties Act, the Registrar of Political Parties gives notice that the Party for Reforms and Development (PDR) intends to effect changes on their particulars,” reads the gazette notice in part. PDR was initially Party of Action (POA) founded by Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju in the run-up to 2013 elections.
