The son of Odinga has written to the Registrar of Political Parties, Anne Nderitu issuing an ultimatum of removal of his name from the membership list of the ANC party.
Through his legal team, Rachier and Amollo Advocate LLP, Raila Junior asked the Office of the registrar to expurge his name from the ANC party with immediate effect.
“We thus have instructions to Demand that your office rectifies your records specifically by deleting our client’s details from the ANC Party membership list, and properly listing him as a member of the ODM party immediately and in any event within twenty-four hours from receipt of this letter, and thereafter confirm the rectification to us in writing,” the demand letter reads in part.
“Our client protests the violation of his privacy and irregular and erroneous use of his personal data on your platform without his consent. Your erroneous registration data, therefore, violates his political rights under article 81 of the Constitution and the Political Parties Act,” he said in the demand letter.
Raila Junior also urged the ORPP to verify the list of members of a political party before publicizing it.
This comes barely a week after Kenyans took to social apps in protest of their names added to different political parties without their consent.
