Kenya African Democratic Union
- Kenya African Democratic Union
The Kenya African Democratic Union was a political party in Kenya. It was founded in 1960 as an alternative to Jomo Kenyatta's Kenya African National Union (KANU). It was led by Ronald Ngala. KADU's aim was to defend the interests of the tribes so-called KAMATUSA (an acronym for Kalenjin, Maasai, Turkana and Samburu), against the dominance of the larger Luo (Kenya) and Kky tribes that comprised the majority of KANU's membership.
KADU lost the first general elections in Kenya in 1963. It dissolved in 1964 and merged into KANU. Daniel arap Moi the former President of Kenya who ruled for 24 years was KADU's chairman and attended the Lancaster meeting with Ronald Ngala.
