In a Gazette notice, the Registrar of Political Parties, Ann Nderitu, announced changes to the party, including its head offices and leadership at the very top.
Among the significant changes at the party was the switch of party leadership from Irungu Nyakera to Ferdinand Waititu.
There were also changes in deputy leadership, with Brian Kigochi being replaced by John Wambugu in the policy and strategy department.
Nicholas Ikui remains the Deputy Party Leader for Resource Mobilisation, while Thomas Omboga also retained his seat as the national chairperson.
In the notice the Registrar of Political Parties, urged anyone with any reservations or complaints about the leadership changes to submit a written submission within seven days of the publication of the Gazette.
The Farmers’ Party was founded by one David Nduati, who passed away in 2022 after a short illness. He was subsequently succeeded by former gubernatorial candidate Nyakera in February 2023.
In his acceptance speech, Nyakera expressed his willingness to work with the Kenya Kwanza government, which was at the time deputised by Rigathi Gachagua.
This has raised questions on whether Waititu should be allowed to hold leadership in a political party, particularly because of the manner in which he lost office.
In 2019, the former Kiambu County boss was impeached after 63 Members of the County Assembly voted in favour of his removal.
At the time, Ndenderu MCA Solomon Kinuthia tabled the motion, accusing Waititu of engaging in corrupt dealings, gross misconduct, and abuse of office.
