The Party of National Unity (PNU) has kicked off revival measures as it seeks to make an impact in the approaching 2022 elections.
It has lined up county elections in Nairobi in line with the same, and a National Delegates Conference (NDC) in Nairobi to chart the way forward as the elections draw near.
Party Secretary-General Paul Okemwa on Wednesday said that 5,800 delegates are expected at the conference set to be attended by some top politicians and state officials.
“We have also invited friends of PNU like Governor Ndiritu Muriithi, MP Jeremiah Kioni and Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya who is our former party leader,” Okemwa was quoted by the Nation.
This is as the party seeks to fill the vacuum set to remain in Mt Kenya region after President Uhuru Kenyatta's 2022 exit.
The party on which retired President Mwai Kibaki secured re-election in 2007 has remained intact after rejecting a merger with Jubilee but had also unending internal fights, lawsuits and disagreements.
Okemwa said that the NDC, whose intention is to bring on board new National Executive Council (NEC) officials, will be succeeded by vigorous campaigns to regain its footing.
“We want to do the NDC once and for all and go back and campaign vigorously to bring back the image of PNU under our slogan Kazi iendelee (let work continue),” he added.
