Win for Sifuna in Linda Mwananchi registration fight Tribunal quashes Registrar’s decision blocking reservation of the party name. Politics 2 hours ago

The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal found that the rival Liberty National Democratic Alliance (LINDA) was neither provisionally nor fully registered and that its reservation of the name made on November 15, 2024, had lapsed after the 90 days, leaving the name available for use by another party.“We find that the reservation of Liberty National Democratic Alliance, LINDA, automatically lapsed by operation of law, and therefore, no administrative act or decision by the Registrar can breathe life into it,” the Tribunal said.

It compared Liberty National Democratic Alliance with Linda Mwananchi Movement and found that the two names shared no common word and were visually, phonetically and conceptually different.
