Parties that have been in politics for a long time in Kenya

This is because the nature of Kenyan politics is that political parties are organised around ethnic kingpins.

The kingpins marshal their ethnic communities to propel themselves to national leadership.

It is because of this that many political parties often have strength in one part of the country.

However, there are parties that have withstood the waves and tides of the country's politics to survive for long.
