High Court Nullifies Merger Between ANC and UDA Parties - January 2026

A High Court ruling has nullified the merger between the Amani National Congress (ANC) Party and President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA). Following the ruling, Stephen Mutoro, the interim ANC party leader, declared the merger legally void. Mutoro announced plans to reassess the party's relationship with UDA. This decision has created a potential legal challenge for the Kenya Kwanza coalition. The ruling sparked varied reactions in Western Kenya, though former ANC officials argue its impact is largely superseded by current political developments.
