Allies of Deputy President William Ruto yesterday vowed to pull out all stops to frustrate the proposed amendments that seek to provide legal backing for the formation of a Coalition Political Party (CPP). The grand plan by the handshake partners is to have provisions that will allow political parties to field candidates jointly across the country under the yet to be registered outfit. According to him, the proposed law seeks to allow political parties to form a coalition party, based on a party for parties model. “Parties will be members of another party but they still exist as political parties. “It is also worth noting that Clause 2 adopts a broad definition of a political party which technically means that even an NGO or a PBO can qualify,” he said.
