The Jubilee Party of Kenya is the ruling political party that was formed after the merger of 11 political parties, to become one of the major political parties in Kenya. The ceremony announcing the merge was held at the Safaricom Kasarani Stadium on 8th September 2016. The formation of the party was the result of an alliance by the principal members of the Jubilee Alliance party, as well as 10 other political parties.[1] These parties were:[2]


  1. Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP)[3]


  2. Alliance Party of Kenya (APK)


  3. United Republican Party (URP)

  4. Grand National Union (GNU)


  5. New FORD–Kenya (NFK) [4]

  6. FORD People (FP)


  7. United Democratic Forum (UDF)


  8. Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU)

  9. Republican Congress (RC)


  10. The National Alliance (TNA)[5]

  11. The Independence Party (TIP)

It was officially done on 7 September 2016, when all the parties had their respective National Delegates Conferences (NDC).

Membership


Membership of the party is acquired by application, recommendation, nomination and registration. On payment of the prescribed fee, a member is issued a membership number in digital form and a smart card. The card is proof of membership and contains the name, identity number and mobile phone number.[6][7]


While the card was intended to prevent fraud during party primaries and nominations before the general election of 2017, those without the card were still able to vote in the primaries if they had a Kenyan identity card.[8]



2017 General Election


Jubilee Party made a good showing in the 2017 General election, winning 140 of 290 parliamentary seats, 25 of 47 County women representatives seats, 24 of 47 senatorial seats,[9] and 25 of the 47 governors.[10] The party went ahead to win the presidential election by a comfortable margin, the results of which has since been annulled[11] after a successful petition by Raila Odinga, who was the first runners up in the election. In a repeat election in October 2017, which Raila Odinga boycotted, the Jubilee ticket was declared winners of the 2017 Kenyan presidential elections.[12]

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
