The Muungano Party (MP) is a political party in Kenya.
The Muungano Party was established in 2007,[1] and nominated a single National Assembly candidate for the 2007 general elections, Tito Mutunga Muunda in Makueni. He received 517 votes, finishing twelfth in a field of nineteen candidates.
In the 2013 elections the party nominated 16 candidates for the National Assembly. It received 0.9% of the vote, winning a single seat,[2] Francis Mwangangi Kilonzo in Yatta.[3] It also won the gubernatorial election in Makueni County, with former MP Kivutha Kibwana elected as the county's Governor. Kibwana left to join Wiper in February 2017.[4]
The party nominated twelve National Assembly candidates for the 2017 general elections,[5] although Kilonzo had left the party and ran as a Chama Cha Uzalendo candidate.[6] The party lost the Yatta seat, but Fabian Muli was elected in Kangundo to retain the party's representation in parliament.[7]
