The Chama Cha Uzalendo (lit. 'Patriotic Party', CCU) is a Kenyan political party established in 2004.[1][2] The party is currently headed by Maur Bwanamaka.[3] Former party chairmen include Wavinya Ndeti[4] and Koigi Wamwere.[5]

2007 general election

Wavinya Ndeti was elected to Parliament as the first woman to ever represent the Kathiani constituency.[6] Gitobu Imanyara was elected to represent the Central Imenti constituency.[7]

2017 general election

Ahead of the 2017 election, CCU joined the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) in July 2016; in 2017, most CORD members transitioned into the National Super Alliance coalition.[8] David Mwalika Mboni was elected to represent Kitui County, the sole CCU member to have a seat in the National Assembly.[9]

2021 Machakos Senate race

After CCU senator Boniface Kabaka's death in December 2020, the Senate seat for Machakos County became available.[10] CCU candidate Lily Nduku Mwanzia withdrew from the race due to financial constraints.[11]
