Liberal Democratic Party (Kenya)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberal Democratic Party is a political party in Kenya. In the general election held on 27 December 2002, the party was a partner in the National Rainbow Coalition, which won 56.1 % of the popular vote and 125 out of 212 elected seats. The party itself took 59 of these seats. In the presidential election held on the same day, the party supported Mwai Kibaki, who won 62.2 % of the vote and was elected. Most of its members formerly represented KANU, then the ruling party in Kenya. The main LDP figures are Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka.
After the Kenyan constitutional referendum in 2005 LPD left the NARC-government. Instead, LDP and KANU formed a coalition known as Orange Democratic Movement, later registered as a political party, ODM-Kenya. KANU later left the coalition only to join Party of National Unity, a new coalition led by President Mwai Kibaki. Consequently, some KANU politicians including William Ruto and Musalia Mudavadi left KANU to stay with ODM-Kenya. ODM-Kenya, on the other hand, split into two parties, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and ODM-Kenya. The former is led by Raila Odinga and the latter by Kalonzo Musyoka.
Thus LDP will not participate the 2007 general elections. Most of its members are now with ODM, while some joined ODM-Kenya.
