Cash constraints, party leaders' interests, and fears of infiltration by forces out to scuttle political parties is the reason the entities don't hold elections to fill leadership slots. A number of key political formations have not held elections to fill the highly-coveted chairman, deputy chairman, secretary, and treasurer posts - for years on end. The case is the same for the ruling party Jubilee, ODM, Wiper, Ford Kenya, Amani National Congress among other bigger parties that define Kenya’s polity. An attempt to hold polls for the slots has been marred by chaos, confusion, and uncertainty. The party opted for boardroom negotiations to fix the mess, a move which has been adopted by its rivals whose attempts to fill the slots failed.
