On the other hand, Martha Karua’s Narc-Kenya Party will get its fair share of sh 7.6 million while ANC owned by Musalia Mudavadi will have its share of sh 26.6 million.

“The allocated funds will be distributed on a quarterly basis upon receipt from the National Treasury,” the registrar announced through a Gazette Notice released on September 29, 2023.

Other parties include:

Moreover, Wetang’ula’s Ford Kenya is getting sh 25.8 million, Gideon Moi’s KANU gets sh 24 million, UDM pockets sh 26.9 million and Maendeleo ChapChap goes away with sh12.7 million.
