UDA and ODM will receive the largest share from the Political Parties Fund.

President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) are set to receive the largest share in the revised Political Parties Fund (PPF).

In a gazette notice dated June 5, the registrar of political parties, Ann Nderitu, said the distribution of the funding was reviewed after PPF faced a budget cut during the supplementary estimates.

“The Registrar of Political Parties gives notice that Political Parties Fund (PPF) faced budget cut during the Supplementary Estimates No. II of Financial Year 2024/25 which has necessitated review of the distribution of the Fund. The following political parties will receive a revised allocation from the PPF during the Financial Year 2024/2025 as follows,” the notice read in part.

The UDA party will receive Ksh480,290,411, followed by ODM, which will receive Ksh256,558,712.

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee party will receive Ksh 112,530,209 from PPF, whereas Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Party will get Ksh 60,101,143.
