Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said that the merger of the Amani National Congress with the United Democratic Alliance will solidify his position in Kenya Kwanza.

Mudavadi said the merger ensures that all terms of the pre-2022 General Election agreement will remain valid and binding until 2027.

In a statement following the merger, Kenya Kwanza leaders reaffirmed the coalition’s unity and commitment to its original mandate, dispelling any speculation about potential shifts in the political landscape.

“Kenya Kwanza remains intact, strong, and fully dedicated to delivering on its promises to the people of Kenya,” the leadership assured.

The coalition extended its appreciation to all stakeholders who facilitated the transition, particularly the supporters of the former ANC party.

“This milestone would not have been possible without your unwavering trust and commitment,” the statement read.

As the newly consolidated entity forges ahead, its leadership emphasised the importance of unity, efficiency, and a shared vision for Kenya’s future.

“This bold and progressive step strengthens our resolve to serve Kenyans better. Together, we move forward with renewed purpose,” they declared.

With the merger now sealed, Kenya Kwanza aims to build on its electoral promises while maintaining internal cohesion and political stability as the country approaches 2027.

This follows the formal ratification of the dissolution of ANC.

The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties officially gazetted the dissolution of ANC, a party previously associated with Mudavadi.

In a gazette notice dated March 7, Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu confirmed that ANC is dissolved in accordance with the Political Parties Act.

“Pursuant to Section 9 and 34C of the Political Parties Act, Cap. 7D, and Paragraph 22 of the Second Schedule to the Political Parties Act, it is hereby notified for the general public that the Amani National Congress (ANC) stands dissolved,’’ the notice reads in part.

The ORPP stated that the gazettement follows a resolution by ANC’s National Delegates Congress on February 7, 2025, to voluntarily dissolve the party in accordance with its constitution.

In mid-January, President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) announced planned to merge with Mudavadi’s ANC.

During a meeting at State House attended by Ruto, Mudavadi, and top ANC and UDA officials, the two parties unveiled a harmonized leadership structure
