The Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU) was a political party in Kenya. It was founded in 1960 when several leading politicians refused to join Jomo Kenyatta’s Kenya African National Union (KANU). It was led by Ronald Ngala. KADU’s aim was to defend the interests of the so-called KAMATUSA (an acronym for Kalenjin Maasai Turkana and Samburu ethnic groups) against the dominance of the larger Luo and Kikuyu that comprised the majority of KANU’s membership.
