Mudavadi emphasized unity and strategic positioning for Western Kenya leaders. Speaking during a Friday interview on Western Kenya radio stations in Kakamega, Mudavadi said the Amani National Congress (ANC) has been dissolved and called on former members and supporters to consolidate under UDA for greater influence. Addressing a recent court ruling that questioned the legality of the merger with UDA, Mudavadi dismissed it as unenforceable. Hiyo tutatafuta tukiwa UDA, tuwe na uzito tukiwa UDA, tuwe na wafuasi wengi tukiwa ndani,” he said, highlighting the need for a strong and coordinated political base. Mudavadi clarified that while UDA recognizes ODM as a political party, no formal resolution has been passed to work with a particular group of ODM leaders.
