High Court Revives Musalia Mudavadi's ANC Party, Ruling Its Dissolution Unconstitutional - January 2026

The High Court has revived the Amani National Congress (ANC) party, ruling that its previous dissolution was unconstitutional. The decision provides a reprieve for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and thwarts a planned merger between ANC and UDA. According to the court, the dissolution violated laws and its ruling voids President William Ruto's earlier takeover attempt of the party. Following the ruling, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) rejected claims of a merger with the ANC. UDA stated that ANC's dissolution was voluntary and legally binding, a position now contradicted by the High Court's declaration.
