Kenya’s pre-General Election political parties’ nominations process is too complicated, messy and unwieldy. In every party, it seems to aim at a mini-general election, which is beside the point. The most ambitious nominations bid yet, ruling party JP’s one-day attempt on Friday last week, collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions. Going forward, the system should be overhauled and enough time allocated for the process. CCM style nominations do not mimic the main event of Election Day.
