The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal has ruled that the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) unlawfully rejected the reservation of the name "Linda Mwananchi." The tribunal ordered the ORPP to reconsider its decision within seven days.

• The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal declared the ORPP's rejection unlawful.
• Key figure: Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, whose movement is reportedly relieved by the ruling.
• The tribunal found the ORPP lacked legal justification and breached the Political Parties Act.

The High Court has placed restrictions on the use of public funds under a cooperation agreement between the National Government led by President William Ruto and the Nairobi County administration under Governor Johnson Sakaja.

• No public funds can be committed, released, or spent on projects under the agreement without authorization from Parliament or the Nairobi County Assembly.
• The Katiba Institute challenged the agreement's constitutionality, questioning the transfer of county functions and commitment of public resources without proper constitutional procedures.
• The court ordered Governor Sakaja and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to disclose details of the agreement, ongoing projects, funding sources, and committee minutes.

The High Court has ordered an open court hearing for a petition challenging the appointment of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

• The petition will be heard in open court on November 4 and 5, 2026, at 10 am in Courtroom 418 at the Milimani Law Courts.
• The decision was made by a three-judge bench comprising Justices Eric Ogola, Anthony Mrima, and Fredah Mugambi.
• The petitioner's lawyer, Harrison Kinyanjui, argued that the constitutional issues at stake required a public hearing to uphold the right to a fair and public hearing.

The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal has ruled in favour of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, ordering the reservation of the name "Linda Mwananchi" for his movement.

• The Tribunal directed the Registrar of Political Parties to reserve the name within seven days.
• This decision overrides the Registrar's previous rejection, influenced by a dispute with the Liberty National Democratic Alliance (LINDA).
• The Tribunal found that LINDA's earlier reservation of the name "Linda" had lapsed due to failure to meet statutory registration deadlines.
