The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) will receive roughly Ksh550 million from the Political Parties Fund (PPF) for the 2026/2027 financial year.
A Gazette Notice dated August 21 reveals that the Registrar of Political Parties allocated Ksh1.4 billion to the fund, benefiting over 40 registered political entities.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ranks second, securing approximately Ksh294 million. Together, UDA and ODM claim nearly Ksh844 million, capturing the lion’s share of total disbursed state funding this year.
The Jubilee Party, which formerly governed Kenya under former President Uhuru Kenyatta, places third with an allocation of about Ksh128.9 million. Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Democratic Movement secures roughly Ksh68.8 million, grounding itself among the top five beneficiaries.
Further down the ranking, former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa’s Democratic Action Party–Kenya (DAP-K) gets close to Ksh30.2 million, while the United Democratic Movement (UDM) takes home about Ksh25.6 million.
Musalia Mudavadi’s Amani National Congress (ANC) expects to pocket around Ksh25.4 million. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula’s party, FORD–Kenya, trails closely with about Ksh24.6 million. The Kenya African National Union (KANU) rounds out the top group receiving over Ksh20 million, securing close to Ksh22.9 million.
Smaller political outfits, including the Devolution Empowerment Party, Pamoja African Alliance, and The Service Party, will share amounts ranging between Ksh10 million and Ksh13 million.
Notably, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), which launched in mid-2025, is missing out on this disbursement list entirely. Allocations exclusively favor established parties that have maintained a continuous, active presence on Kenya’s official political registry.
The Registrar of Political Parties confirmed that the Treasury will disburse the money in quarterly installments. Under strict spending guidelines, parties must limit administrative and staff expenses to a maximum of 30 percent, ensuring the bulk of the funding directly fuels grassroots engagement and political outreach.
The national government finances the Political Parties Fund by setting aside at least 0.3 percent of all nationally collected revenues. Beyond covering operational costs, the funds support civic education, expand political access for women, youth, and persons with disabilities, and broaden civic participation across Kenya.
