The Public Service Commission (PSC) has shortlisted 10 candidates for the position of Registrar of Political Parties.

In a notice seen by The Star, the interviews will take place on Monday, August 11, 2025, at the PSC offices on Harambee Avenue, Nairobi.

The interviews will take place between 8.30 am and 2.30pm.

Those shortlisted include Ali Abdullah Surrar, the current Acting RPP, Sophia Sitati, Geoffrey Obonyo, Everlyne Koiyan, Alloys Ndege, Mercy Wambua, Dr Manana Rodgers, Rahma Jillo, Lorionokou John Cox and Florence Tabu Birya.

The 10 candidates include Seth Onyango, Simon Nyamolo, Josephine Ergaoe, Chebet Koske, Julius Cheche, Peter Muthui, Agatha Wahome, Mohammed Abdullahi Abdi, Robert Borter and Gilbert Opanga. 

The Commission also asked shortlisted candidates to arrive at least 20 minutes before their scheduled time. 

They are required to carry original identification documents, academic and professional certificates, testimonials, and valid clearance certificates from various government bodies, including the Kenya Revenue Authority, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.

PSC said candidates with foreign academic qualifications must present recognition letters from the Commission for University Education.

The Commission has also invited members of the public to submit any credible information on the shortlisted candidates by Friday, August 8, 2025, via email or to the PSC office in Nairobi.

Sitati was seconded from the Office of the Attorney General, the State Department for Justice & Human Rights and Constitutional Affairs. 

Until her new posting, she served as Chief State Counsel.
