Mudavadi Hints at ANC Dissolution to Join Ruto's UDA, Sparking Coalition Shakeup Speculation
-
Mudavadi hinted at a major political move, sparking speculation he may dissolve ANC and join Ruto's UDA party, but ANC officials dismissed this.
-
A merger could shake up the governing coalition and unsettle Deputy President Gachagua's position.
-
Mudavadi likely secured concessions from Ruto before hinting at a move, possibly a senior UDA position.
-
Ruto wants to build a strong, united party rather than a delicate alliance, so seeks to subsume smaller partners like ANC.
-
Any move sidelining Gachagua could upset Ruto's Kikuyu and Kalenjin support bases, but bringing Western Kenya firmly into the fold may be the priority.
