Former officials of the defunct Amani National Congress (ANC) have unveiled a political party they say will champion the political and economic interests of the Western region.

Led by former Secretary General, Dr Barack Muluka, the allies said the new party, Umoja Summit Party-Kenya (USP-K), seeks to unite the Western region ahead of the 2027 elections.

Muluka blamed Mudavadi and Ford Kenya's Moses Wetangula for failing to show leadership and political direction for the Luhya people.

Mudavadi's ANC merged with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to form a unified political entity.
