This means ODM is the richest party in Kenya with the former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party coming in second with a value of KSh429.44 million. 

President William Ruto’s UDA party which was established a few years ago is yet to reveal its financial status.The ruling party will however get more funding from the Political Parties Fund than ODM in the 2022/2023 fiscal year.

This is because it has the biggest number of elected Members of Parliament and Senators than Raila Odinga’s ODM.
