The Kenya National Democratic Alliance (KENDA) is a political party in Kenya.

History

KENDA was established by David Mukaru-Ng'ang'a in 1992.[1] Mukaru-Ng'ang'a ran as the party's presidential candidate in the December 1992 general elections, finishing last in a field of eight candidates with 0.2% of the vote. In the parliamentary elections, the party received only 771 votes, failing to win a seat in the National Assembly.[1]

The party nominated Koigi wa Wamwere as its presidential candidate for the 1997 elections. He finished tenth out of fifteen candidates with 0.12% of the vote, whilst the party again failed to win a seat in the National Assembly.

KENDA was taken over by businessman Kamlesh Pattni in 2006,[2] and the party fielded 170 candidates,[3] including ten former MPs, in the 2007 general elections,[4] the second highest number of candidates after the Orange Democratic Movement.[3] However, the party won only one seat; Linah Kilimo in Marakwet East. In the 2013 elections KENDA nominated 13 National Assembly candidates, receiving 0.2% of the vote, losing its seat.
