Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei during a rally in Kapsabet town on March 13, 2026. /SAMSON CHERARGEI/XNandi Senator Samson Cherargei has said political parties allied to the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance must dissolve and merge with the United Democratic Alliance ahead of the 2027 General Election or risk being locked out of key government and parliamentary positions. “Those who are in a coalition with UDA, we want to ask them to dissolve those small parties so that we get into a bigger ship called UDA. Despite the ruling, UDA has maintained that the decision to dissolve ANC was voluntary and had already taken effect, describing the court ruling as one overtaken by events. “Those that won't dissolve their parties, when UDA and President Ruto return in 2027, they will not get Cabinet seats or even the speaker,” Cherargei warned.
