TheUnited Democratic Forum Party (UDF) was a political party in Kenya.
The party was founded in 2012, by a cross section of younger members of Kenya's 10th parliament under the premise of steering reforms to Kenya's governance and boosting economic growth.[2] Its members includedDeputy PrimeMinisterMusalia Mudavadi.[3]
Prior to the2013 general elections the party joined theAmani Coalition, which nominated the Mudavadi as its presidential candidate. In the elections Mudavadi came third in the presidential contest with 4% of the vote, whilst the UDF won three seats in theSenate and twelve in theNational Assembly.
In 2015 Mudavadi broke away from the UDF to form theAmani National Congress. In 2016 the party merged into theJubilee Party.[4]
