The claims have intensified political debate, with critics demanding transparency from the Registrar regarding the handling of political party registrations.<br \/>\nRepresentatives of the new LINDA party, however, have maintained that they are pursuing their own lawful political agenda and have denied any wrongdoing. As of now, there has been no official confirmation or evidence that the party was created or sponsored to block the registration of Linda Mwananchi.<br \/>\nThe Registrar of Political Parties is expected to address the matter and clarify the status of both applications as public interest in the dispute continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Allegations that the new LINDA party was hired to stop Linda Mwananchi&#8217;s registration have not been substantiated. They should be presented as claims or questions unless supported by verifiable evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By News Brief\u00a0 A fresh political controversy has erupted following the emergence of a newly formed party bearing the name &#8220;LINDA&#8221; during the ongoing registration&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5067,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5065"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5068,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5065\/revisions\/5068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
