: His Excellency President (Rtd) Uhuru Kenyatta attended the joint summit of the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) at State House, Nairobi. The summit, co-chaired by AU Commission Chairperson Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, President William Ruto (chair of the EAC) and President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe (chair of SADC), was held to brief the EAC and SADC panel of facilitators on their mandate and the expectations of the two African regional blocs following a meeting of the Heads of State and Governments.

The panel was appointed following an agreement between the Heads of State and Governments of the EAC and SADC that recognized the need for a unified and revitalized approach aligned with the AU’s mandate to promote peace, security, and stability on the continent. This merged the Nairobi and Luanda peace processes into a single framework.

The five-member panel comprises former Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta (Kenya), Catherine Samba-Panza (Central African Republic), Sahle-Work Zewde (Ethiopia), MokgweetsiMasisi (Botswana), and Olusegun Obasanjo (Nigeria), who attended virtually. The panel is mandated to provide strategic political intervention guided by the joint roadmap adopted by the EAC-SADC to foster conditions for inclusive dialogue, trust-building, and sustainable peace in eastern DRC.

Also in attendance were key stakeholders in the DRC peace process and notable dignitaries.

The certification brings the total number of provisionally registered parties to 17 by July, 2025.
The ORPPKenya guided the party founding members present on the requirements for full registration including on recruitment of recruited members in compliance with Political Parties Act and Data Protection Act, establishing offices and inclusive governance organs in line with their Constitution and ideologies.
“A provisionally registered political party shall not be entitled to participate in an election including the twenty-two (22) by-elections expected in the country soon. Further, the law requires you as VIDA and HAPA NOT to propose or campaign for any candidate in any election. However, at this stage of registration, you have the right to publicize your to recruit members, access state security for peaceful and orderly meetings as well as state-owned”, guided the Registrar.

“As you recruit members in line with guidelines given, build your membership encompassing all demographics including the Special Interest Groups, particularly the youth. Establish party offices in locations and premises accessible to all including PWDs”, guided Assistant Registrar, Registration and Field Services Coordination, CPA Florence Birya.

‘You have 270 days from the date of the certificate to meet statutory conditions for full registration. Work towards this end bearing in mind the electoral timelines for the forthcoming general election”, noted Head of Registration department, Locha Erukudi as ORPPKenya officials present guided on compliance, ICT, records management processes among other specific requirements for parties’ full registration.

Founding members for the two parties appreciated the guidance received from ORPPKenya through the rigorous initial registration stage. “ We have been through this journey for over a year. The ORPP has been very helpful and objective through the process. We are ready for the next challenge as the law requires as we aspire to meet our ideological pursuits”, the officials appreciated.
