He expressed concern over media reports suggesting his involvement in establishing a new political outfit.
“For the record, and for the avoidance of doubt, Dr Mudavadi is firmly in government under the Kenya Kwanza Alliance Administration led by Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces,” stated Jacob Ng’etich, Director of Press Service in the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary.
Mudavadi’s statement follows speculation that some of his allies were behind the creation of a new political party, with media reports implying his endorsement. However, he categorically denied these claims, emphasising his dedication to his current responsibilities and loyalty to the alliance.
Mudavadi previously led the Amani National Congress (ANC), a party that formed part of the coalition backing President Ruto in the 2022 general election, before joining government.
In January 2025, the ANC formally merged with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), led by President Ruto, with UDA becoming the dominant political party.
The announcement of the merger was made at State House, Nairobi, by UDA Chairperson Governor Cecily Mbarire, who confirmed that the newly unified party would adopt ANC’s colours and logo as part of its rebranding strategy.
“This merger is the culmination of months of discussions aimed at strengthening our political alignment within the Kenya Kwanza coalition,” said Mbarire.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary reiterated his commitment to integrity and public service, highlighting his consistent support for national unity and cohesion.
He also noted that his decision to merge ANC with UDA was made voluntarily and enjoyed widespread backing from ANC members.
Mudavadi further pointed out that many former ANC officials now occupy key positions within the ruling party, including the role of deputy party leader, where they continue to contribute to the leadership and direction of Kenya Kwanza.
