Moses Kuria’s dissolved party, Chama Cha Kazi to field candidates in upcoming by-elections
President William Ruto’s Senior Economic Adviser, Moses Kuria, has said his political party, Chama Cha Kazi, will field candidates in the upcoming by-elections, after the swearing in of new IEBC commissioners.
In a statement shared on his X account on Monday May 12, 2025, Kuria hinted at plans to revamp the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Chama Cha Kazi that was supposedly dissolved in 2022, to join President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) would be active again after the IEBC sets dates for upcoming by-elections, according to Moses Kuria.
“As we prepare to swear in the new IEBC, this party, which was founded on 17th August 2021, is the party to watch. By-elections are looming. Battle Royale,” Kuria stated.
This comes 3 years after the Chama Cha Kazi party wrote to the registrar of political parties seeking to merge with the ruling party in October 2022.
“Chama Cha Kazi would like to issue notice to all the members pursuant to and in accordance with Article 10.0.1 (b) of the Chama Cha Kazi Constitution of the decision to merge Chama Cha Kazi with the United Democratic Alliance. Members are invited to file their submissions supporting or opposing the merger with the Secretary General within 21 days hereof,” read the notice.

Kuria dissolved his party immediately after his nomination as the Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary in 2022.
“Until yesterday, I was the leader of the Chama Cha Kazi. But on September 30, I wrote to the registrar of political parties Anne Nderitu to cancel the party so that I can join UDA,” Kuria said.
His decision came at the time when President Ruto was pushing to have all leaders of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance affiliate parties to fold up and merge with UDA.
