By Peter Opiyo and Vitalis Kimutai KENYA: Next week will see mass resignations of Members of Parliament ahead of the deadline on January 4. Led by a host of presidential aspirants and well-known politicians, over 100 MPs would be forced to resign their seats after abandoning the parties that sponsored them to Parliament. They include Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta who jumped ship from Kanu and founded The National Alliance (TNA), and his Jubilee Alliance partner Eldoret North MP William Ruto, who is now in the United Republican Party (URP), from ODM. Ruto wrote to the acting Registrar of Political Parties, Lucy Ndung’u, on December 21, and formally joined URP on December 23. Uhuru resigned from Kanu on December 22, and joined TNA.
