NAIROBI, Kenya Jun 27 \u2013 The National Economic Development Party (NEDP) has suspended its Executive Director Daniel Mokua Onsomu, barring him from transacting any business on behalf of the party with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
In a letter addressed to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP), the party said the decision was reached during a governing body meeting held on June 24.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe write to formally notify your office that the Governing Body of the National Economic Development Party (NEDP), at its meeting held on 24th June 2026, resolved to suspend Daniel Mokua Onsomu from the position of Executive Director, effective immediately,\u201d the letter states.<\/p>\n
The party further directed the Registrar of Political Parties to remove Onsomu\u2019s name from its official records as an authorized official and signatory.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsequently, Mr. Onsomu is no longer authorized to represent, act on behalf of, or transact any business in the name of the Party. His name should be removed from your records as an authorized official and signatory of the Party,\u201d the letter adds.<\/p>\n
NEDP also informed the Registrar that all future official communication with the office would be signed by other authorized party officials and requested that the party records be updated accordingly.<\/p>\n
The letter was signed by NEDP Chairperson Dr. John Nyamu, Treasurer Nancy Muthami and Founding Member Peterson Maina. It bears the official stamp of the Registrar of Political Parties indicating it was received on June 26, 2026.<\/p>\n
The suspension comes at a time when the relatively young political party has gained national attention through its party leader, former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko, who has recently been vocal on national issues.<\/p>\n
Sonko was also in the spotlight after paying cash bail for more than 150 people arrested during the June 25 Gen Z memorial protests.<\/p>\n
The reasons behind Onsomu\u2019s suspension were not disclosed in the letter, and by the time of publication, he had not publicly responded to the decision.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
