A planned merger between ANC and UDA was thwarted as the High Court revived the Amani National Congress Party (ANC). This decision provides a reprieve for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

• The merger was declared to have violated the ANC party’s constitution and the Constitution of Kenya.
• High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye delivered the ruling on Thursday.
• The ruling prevents President William Ruto's party from taking over Musalia Mudavadi's political vehicle.
