The High Court has been urged to order the registrar of political parties to deregister the United Democratic Alliance for illegally poaching members from Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party to increase its numbers and retain power.

This comes as the registrar Ann Nderitu, who has since been gazetted as an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner defended UDA claiming that it was free to woe and court members of other political parties, even those elected.
