The Registrar of Political Parties has refused to reserve names associated with Gen Z for the registration of political parties.
Efforts by a segment of Kenya to secure the name for future use failed after the ORPP rejected the request.
Simon Maina Mwangi had written to the ORPP to request the reservation of the names.
In response to the ORPP’s rejection, Maina has vowed to challenge the decision at the Political Parties Tribunal, arguing that the reason given is invalid.
“If you claim Gen-Z is discriminatory, what about Farmers Party? Not everyone is a farmer. We’ll be taking this to the tribunal to contest the rejection,” he said.
