The ruling party’s move to strengthen its operations comes after a key meeting that brought together top officials from both UDA and ANC.
In a statement released on January 18, 2025, UDA revealed that Secretary-General Hassan Omar led a three-day strategic meeting in Naivasha.
The meeting, attended by former ANC officials, focused on finalizing work plans to improve the party’s efficiency and streamline its operations.
According to UDA, the goal was to consolidate the party’s strengths and ensure effective implementation of its political agenda.
“The retreat focused on aligning priorities, fostering collaboration, and defining actionable steps to strengthen the party’s operations,” UDA said in the statement.
Key figures from the ANC, including Executive Director Nicodemus Bore, National Executive Committee member Daniel Sambu, and former ANC Executive Director Margaret Kamonya, participated in the retreat.
The meeting comes just a day after UDA officially merged with ANC on January 17, 2025. The merger was announced at a ceremony at State House, where UDA National Chairperson Cecily Mbarire confirmed that the party would undergo changes in branding and operations.
ANC’s identity, including its symbols, logo, and imagery, will now be incorporated into UDA’s official representation.
“This merger signifies a new chapter for the UDA party. We are integrating ANC’s symbols and making changes that will reflect the unity and strength of the newly formed party,” Mbarire said during the announcement.
The merger and the subsequent strategic retreat are part of UDA’s efforts to strengthen its position as the ruling party in Kenya.
With the consolidation of ANC’s leadership and resources, UDA plans to expand its reach and ensure a unified approach in advancing its political agenda.
The leadership hopes this new direction will allow the party to operate more efficiently and remain a dominant force in Kenyan politics.
