The Registrar of Political Parties, Anne Nderitu, has announced plans to crack down on unregistered "briefcase" political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

• The crackdown aims to deregister political parties that fail to meet legal requirements and operationalize their activities.
• Anne Nderitu, the Registrar of Political Parties, is spearheading this initiative.
• The move is intended to ensure that only legitimate and active political parties participate in future elections, promoting a more organized political landscape.

Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has stated that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is not yet ready to run for the presidency.

• Atwoli believes Sifuna needs more experience and stronger national networks, stating, "You must suffer looking for leadership."
• The COTU leader emphasized that presidential campaigns require more than rally popularity, citing the need to understand the economy and Kenyans' problems.
• Atwoli also questioned the viability of Sifuna's grassroots fundraising model for a presidential bid, contrasting it with historical successful campaigns and the Kenyan political tradition.
