The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has set aside the decision by the Registrar of Political Parties declining to reserve the name Linda Mwananchi Movement and ordered the Registrar to reserve the name within seven days.
In its orders, the Tribunal found that the Registrar’s decision to decline the reservation of the name was without legal justification and amounted to a denial of the applicants’ right to form or participate in the formation of a political party.
“The decision by the Registrar declining to reserve the name Linda Mwananchi is hereby set aside,” the Tribunal ordered.
