National Elections Board (NEB) has called for fresh elections of National Parents Association (NPA) officials after the High Court nullified the election of the current officials.
The judgement by Justice Hedwig Ong’udi, delivered on May 31, 2022, nullified the election of national representives led by Nicholas Maiyo.
In a notice in local dailies, the election board indicated that it will conduct elections on August 27, 2022 at a venue to be communicated separately to the delegates.
“The court directed NEB to conduct fresh elections within 45 days,” part of the notice read.
The association declared vacant the following positions; National Chairman, Secretary General, National Treasurer, Organizing Secretary and the four positions for deputies.
Other positions are: representatives of higher education and tertiary institutions, special needs school’s sub sector, secondary school’s sub sector, primary and ECDE school’s sub sector and private schools sub sector.
The association board chairperson Moses Nthesi asked parents wishing to vie for the positions to submit their applications before August 15.
Application forms will be obtained from the Board’s offices on payment of a non-refundable fee of Sh2500.
