A political party has written to the Registrar of the Political Parties objecting the registration of the Jubilee Party.
In a letter, Ashford Mugwuku who is the secretary general of the Jubilee Peoples Party of Kenya said he is opposed to the registration of any other party bearing the name 'Jubilee' as it resembles his party’s name.
"We wish to strongly object to the registration of any party bearing the name Jubilee or such other names that so nearly resemble Jubilee and our party symbol open handcuffs and abbreviation JPP,JPK,JP,JAP under section 8 of the Political parties Act," read part of the letter.
Muriuki said he registered a party known as Jubilee Peoples Party of Kenya (JPP) and registration of another party with the Jubilee name will be against the law.
"Take further notice that in default of the compliance, our political party will proceed to institute legal proceedings to enforce compliance," read another section of the letter.
The move is a major blow to President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto as they plan to launch Jubilee party in early August.
