ORPP dissolves Musalia Mudavadi's ANC party

The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) has ratified the dissolution of the Amani National Congress (ANC) party.

A gazette notice published by Registrar of Political Parties Anne Nderitu indicated that the party previously led by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi agreed to dissolve voluntarily.

According to the ORPP, the party ceased to exist as from March 7, following the decision by the members of its top brass.

“Pursuant to sections 9 and 34C of the Political Parties Act, Cap. 7D and Paragraph 22 of the Second Schedule to the Political Parties Act, it is notified for the information of the general public that, Amani National Congress (ANC) at its Special National Delegates Congress of Friday, 7th February, 2025 resolved to voluntarily dissolve in line with the ANC Party constitution; Amani National Congress (ANC) stands dissolved,” the notice read.

This came after the party’s decision to fold and merge with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party on January 17, 2025.
