Questions
What people actually ask
These are the real questions put to us through this website, answered from the party's own papers.
The assistant at the bottom right answers from the constitution and the manifesto.

Disciplinary matters go to the disciplinary committee at the level where they arose: sub-county, county or national. Any other dispute goes to the Internal Dispute Resolution Committee, which must determine it within a month.
You will be notified within seven days, given fourteen days to respond, and a determination follows within sixty days. Appeals run upward to the National Executive Committee, and then to the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal, which sits outside the party.

It is published in full on Documents. The current text was amended on 27 January 2026.

On Documents, alongside the other statutory filings.
The financial year runs from 1 July to 30 June. The accounts are audited annually by a firm certified by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, which may hold no office in the party, and are then filed with the Registrar of Political Parties.

Elections
Under Article 15.1, anyone seeking nomination must:
- Be a fully paid-up member of the party
- Complete and sign the nomination form before a commissioner of oaths
- Pay the nomination fee set in the party nomination rules
Nominations are conducted by the National Elections Board, and disputes are resolved within thirty days of the nomination date.
Article 15.2 requires that you:
- Have been a paid-up member for more than three years
- Have given selfless service to the party
- Pay the nomination fee set in the party nomination rules
The National Elections Board, established under Article 15.3. Seven members, appointed by the National Executive Committee and ratified by the Convention, serving five years.
The independence rules matter more than the structure:
- Members must have been paid-up for at least five continuous years
- No member may hold an elective party position or stand for any elective office while serving
- The composition must reflect regional representation and gender balance, and includes representatives of the Youth, Women and Persons with Disability Leagues
The Board reports quarterly to the Committee and annually to the Convention.
Leadership
The Secretary General, in consultation with the National Executive Committee. That is Article 6.3.4.
Anything said by anyone else is not a party position. Official statements are published on Press statements.
The National Executive Council is made up of national officials elected by the National Delegates Convention every five years.
Current names and offices are on Leadership. Write to the office rather than the person, so your letter survives a change of officials.
Membership
Ordinary membership is KSh 200 a year, renewable annually.
The party also offers higher tiers, which are contributions above the annual fee:
- Bronze 25,000
- Silver 50,000
- Gold 75,000
- Life 100,000
Special interest groups may pay a reduced fee, or none at all, with the approval of the National Executive Committee. Fees are set by the Committee and may change.

Money
Article 10.1 allows five sources:
- Membership subscriptions and levies
- Donations from members, well-wishers and other lawful sources in Kenya
- Contributions from holders of elective or appointive office on the party ticket
- Income from party investments
- The Political Parties Fund, if the party qualifies
See Donate for how contributions are received and receipted.
No, under any circumstances. Article 10.6 is absolute: party funds shall not be distributed to members, officials or candidates as gifts, loans, personal allowances or any other personal benefit.
Unauthorised distribution is gross misconduct, grounds for immediate expulsion, and a matter for referral to law enforcement. The Treasurer and Secretary General must report any violation to the National Executive Committee and the Convention.
No. The party accepts contributions from members, well-wishers and other lawful sources in Kenya.
Contributions are also subject to the limits set out in the Political Parties Act. Every contribution is receipted by the National Treasurer, and party bank accounts require two signatures, one of which must be the Treasurer. See Donate.
Policy
Our vision is a united, prosperous and democratic Kenya where every citizen has equal access to opportunity, justice and national prosperity.
The party is founded on five principles: equity and social justice, democracy and the rule of law, people centred development, transparency and accountability, and unity in diversity.
The full agenda is on Our agenda.
The manifesto commits the party to work on the things that set household costs:
- A food policy that secures food for all, with irrigation and modern methods in arid and semi-arid areas
- Effective marketing of farm produce and prompt payment to farmers
- Boreholes and dams to secure water for livestock, farming and homes
- Affordable housing under a proper housing policy
- Equitable access to and distribution of national resources
See Our agenda for the detail.
The manifesto commits the party to:
- Policies that advance a youth agenda
- Leadership training for young people in their own fields
- Access to affordable credit, so young people can build rather than wait
- Adequate employment opportunities
- Forums on family values, HIV/AIDS and drug abuse
The party also has a Youth League, and the National Executive Council carries a National Secretary for Youth Affairs.
The manifesto commits the party to quality, affordable health care for every Kenyan whatever their social status.
That means proper training for medical personnel, building and developing medical infrastructure, and a health policy shaped by what Kenyans actually need rather than what is convenient.
See Our agenda.
The manifesto commits the party to legislation that combats corruption, a whistle-blowing campaign, and awareness built from the grassroots upward.
The party constitution applies the same standard internally. Article 10.6 forbids distributing party funds to any member, official or candidate as a gift, loan or personal benefit. Doing so is gross misconduct, grounds for expulsion, and a matter for referral to law enforcement.
Structure
Seven organs, set out in Article 6:
- National Delegates Convention, the supreme organ
- National Coordinating Committee
- National Executive Council
- National Secretariat
- County Executive Committee
- Constituency Management Committee
- Ward Executive Committee
Party organs explains what each one decides.
The minimums are written into Article 7:
- National Delegates Convention: once every five years, by 20 December of the fifth year
- National Coordinating Committee: at least every three months
- National Executive Council: at least every two months
- County Executive Committee: at least once a quarter
Quorum is two thirds for the Convention and county committees, and fifty per cent for the national committees.
County Executive Committees are appointed by the National Executive Council for five years, and have nine posts.
Ward Executive Committees are nominated by the County Executive Committee, also for five years, and have three posts.
Reporting runs the other way: ward to constituency, constituency to county, county to the National Secretariat through the National Organising Secretary. See Counties.
Article 9.1 requires county branches in at least twenty-four counties, with constituency sub-branches under them and ward sub-branches under those.
Counties shows where offices are open. If your county is still being organised, write to the office and we will connect you with organisers there.
No question matches that. Ask Sauti instead, or call the office.
