The Registrar of Political Parties has declined requests to register at least 176 political parties, some mirroring DP William Ruto's hustler nation narrative. Of the 176 parties that sought registration, at least 10 proposed names that mirror Ruto's hustler nation ideologies and campaign slogans. They included the Jubilee Asili Party, the Hustlers and Achievers Party of Kenya, the Hustlers Alliance Party of Kenya, Hustle, the Strive and Achieve Party of Kenya and the National Alliance of Hustlers and Achievers Party of Kenya. Others were National Party of Hustlers and Achievers of Kenya, and Hustlers and Ground Masses Party of Kenya. DP Ruto, who vowed in 2013 that Jubilee was formed to end the culture of tribal parties, has embarked on a charm offensive and is spearheading creation of regional parties.
