Party coalitions for Kenya’s 2022 elections have up to February 9 to get clearance from the registrar of political parties, setting the stage for frantic realignments in the coming days.
On Thursday, Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta assented to an amended law that allows coalitions to operate as legal entities and requires them to formalise their agreements at least six months before a General Election.
