National Labour Party (Kenya)


The National Labour Party is a political party in Kenya.

History

The NLP gained parliamentary representation in 2004 when Ananiah Mwasambu Mwaboza won a by-election in Kisauni Constituency. Mwaboza was effectively an anti-reform National Rainbow Coalition candidate, nominated to oppose Hassan Ali Joho, the pro-reform member of the Liberal Democratic Party, who had received the official NARC nomination.
The party nominated 22 National Assembly candidates for the 2007 general elections, receiving 0.5% of the vote and winning one seat. Mwaboza was defeated in Kisauni, but Walter Enock Nyambati Osebe was elected in Kitutu Masaba Constituency.
In the 2013 elections the NLP nominated only eight candidates; Osebe ran on a the National Alliance ticket. The party received 0.08% of the vote, losing its sole seat.
