In the last few days, some Kenyans have discovered that they had been registered as members of a political party without their consent. This was after the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) provided a platform orpp.or.ke/ppregstatus that the public could to use to check if there were registered as a political party member.

Political parties in Kenya are required by law to submit a list of members to ORPP. The members are important, especially in an election year, because they can run as a candidate in elections and can also vote in the primaries to select candidates who will run in the elections.

ORPP hava a solution to the people who have found themselves registered without their permission. They can;

1. Send an email registering their complaint plus their ID number to info@orpp.or.ke.

2. Call the ORPP representative in their county to have the issue sorted. The full list of representatives is available HERE.
