newly formed partnership between President William Ruto and former Baringo
Senator Gideon Moi.

transformation.
He described the incorporation of KANU into Kenya Kwanza not
as a matter of political gain, but as a necessary step toward inclusive
governance, with KANU contributing to the national development agenda.
