Kenyans need to know what's happening. State House has instructed the Government Printer to block publication of AZIMIO's legitimate leadership changes in the Kenya Gazette. The facts are simple: Philip Kisia (Executive Director), Caroli Omondi (Secretary General), and myself, Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka (Party Leader) were legally appointed. The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties accepted our changes. Local dailies published them last week. The Kenya Gazette was scheduled to publish on Friday, February 6, 2026. Then came the interference. This directly contradicts one of the 10 Agenda items we deliberated during NADCO, "Fidelity to the law on multiparty democracy." I co-chaired those talks in good faith, believing we were building consensus on strengthening Kenya's democratic institutions. Yet here we are, watching the same administration undermine the very principles we agreed upon. When State House can arbitrarily stop the publication of legally constituted political party leadership, it's not just AZIMIO under attack, it's Kenya's multiparty democracy itself. Ruto has consistently undermined opposition parties and coalitions. This is yet another example of using state machinery to weaken political competition rather than competing on ideas and track record. We will pursue all legal avenues to ensure our rightful leadership is gazetted. Democracy cannot function when those in power manipulate the rules to silence dissent. Share this widely. Kenyans and the world deserve to know. #KomboaKenya #ProtectKenyanDemocracy
