Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has addressed the recent dissolution of the Amani National Congress (ANC) Party. The decision was confirmed in a gazette notice issued by Registrar Ann Nderitu on March 7, 2025, following the party’s Special National Delegates Congress on February 7, 2025. The notice clearly stated that the ANC has voluntarily dissolved in accordance with its party constitution.
Mudavadi responded to the announcement by emphasizing that the merger of the ANC with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has only strengthened his position and reaffirmed the pre-2022 General Election agreement, which remains in effect until 2027.
“Kenya Kwanza remains intact, strong, and fully committed to delivering on its promises to the people of Kenya. We extend our gratitude to all stakeholders who facilitated this transition, especially the supporters of the former ANC party,” Mudavadi stated.
He dismissed any speculation regarding potential shifts in the political landscape, stressing that the unity of the Kenya Kwanza coalition is paramount as the country gears up for the 2027 elections. Mudavadi also highlighted the importance of internal cohesion, efficiency, and a shared vision in moving forward.
Earlier, ANC leaders had downplayed rumors of dissolution and a potential merger with UDA. However, subsequent announcements by ANC leader Timamy and UDA chairperson Cecily Mbarire confirmed that the two parties would indeed merge, signaling a new phase in Kenyan opposition politics.
As Kenya Kwanza consolidates its power and prepares for future electoral challenges, many are left wondering: Could this merger mark a turning point in Kenyan politics?
