Amani National Congress Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi has said that the merger between his party and Ford Kenya is still on course. “That is work in progress,” he said.

Speaking during an interview on KTN on Tuesday night, Mudavadi said that the merger was a process which must be carefully discussed and internalised by individual parties before any announcement is made.

‘If it has to materialize, it can only be so in the course of next year when people have internalised what the effects of the merger were on them,” he said.

“The truth of the matter is that when we formed a team to oversee the merger, one member from the Ford Kenya wing started speaking from a completely different perspective and we thought it good to allow the party to sort out its issues first before we could proceed,” he said.

Former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale who represented Ford Kenya in the merger technical committee has since shifted allegiance to DP Ruto.

The Kakamega Ford Kenya branch has since recommended his disciplinary action by the party headquarters for supporting his party boss rival.

ANC had in October last year ruled out the possibility of merging with Ford Kenya as earlier envisaged over suspicion of infiltration by Deputy President William Ruto.

Party secretary general Barrack Muluka  said although the party was still committed to the earlier merger plans with eyes on the 2022 polls, “the body language of Ford Kenya suggests the contrary”.
