A sharply divided President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party faces an acid test as it prepares to conduct its elections ahead of the March 31 deadline to comply with requirements of the political parties’ law.

With just two months to the deadline set in their own constitution and the agreement with the Registrar of Political Parties as per the requirements of the Political Parties Act, Jubilee now races against time to be compliant, even as its members accuse the interim secretariat of poor planning.
