Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has officially changed its name to Wiper Patriotic Front.
The announcement was made by the Registrar of Political Parties, Ann Nderitu, who issued a seven-day ultimatum to anyone who objects to the name change.
“In exercise of the power conferred by section 20 (1) (d) of the Political Parties Act, the Registrar of Political Parties gives notice that Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) intends to change its party name to Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF)”, the notice read.
“Any person with written submissions concerning the intended change by the political party shall, within seven (7) days from the date of this publication, deposit them with the Registrar of Political Parties”, the notice added.
This comes after the Ukambani tour last week on Friday, where Kalonzo stated that the rebrand was essential as it plans to give the party a new outlook by planning to incorporate the youth.
He further urged youths to seize the opportunity to register themselves as members of the party, adding that the name reflects the spirit of patriotism demonstrated by Gen-Zs during the 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests.
