The ANC party, led by new Party Leader Issa Timamy, has rejected UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala’s call to dissolve and join the William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance party.
During a consultative meeting held in Lamu County, the party Council Bureau asserted that the ANC party will not merge with any other parties affiliated with the Kenya Kwanza coalition.
Timamy assured ANC’s support base that the party will not dissolve anytime soon and wondered why Malala is calling for parties to dissolve and join UDA when the ruling coalition is functioning smoothly.
He added that the ANC party will continue to play its role in the Kenya Kwanza coalition, supporting the President to deliver the coalition manifesto to Kenyans.
In a rally in Kisumu, UDA secretary general Cleophas Malala had stated that parties in the coalition should dissolve and work under UDA to have one center of power.
On Monday, Malala was named the new UDA SG, replacing Veronica Maina who is a nominated senator.
The change came as the party prepares for a massive recruitment drive and election of party officials.
