On June 24, 2020, former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri unveiled The Service Party (TSP) in Nairobi, marking the 82nd political party to be registered in the country.
The party's colours are yellow, white, red, and navy blue, with a heart inside a circle as its symbol, which Mr. Kiunjuri described as a promise to serve the people of Kenya.
"TSP is determined to pave a genuine path for those who are looking to become change makers in the interest of service to the people. We will be unequivocal about service delivery," Mr. Kiunjuri said.
The party aims to offer alternative leadership and will field candidates in all elective positions across the country, with Mr. Kiunjuri ruling out a bid for the Laikipia gubernatorial seat in the 2022 election.
However, he left the door open for a potential presidential run, stating that he may push the agenda of TSP in his position as the chairman.
