Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) Anne Nderitu has said no new political coalition has been registered ahead of the General Election.
Nderitu said only coalition names have been reserved by politicians.
She said the existing coalitions were only those registered in the run-up to the 2017 elections.
“For now apart from the ones (coalitions) in 2017 of which one was dissolved, we don’t have any filed coalition in our office,” said Nderitu.
