The political landscape in the country, particularly in the Western region, is set for a major shift following the merger of the Amani National Congress (ANC) with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

ANC, a party closely associated with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and with strong support in Western Kenya and select Coast counties, officially ceased to exist on Friday after merging with UDA.
