The Baluhya Political Union was a political party in Kenya.
History
The party was established in July 1960.[1] It nominated a single candidate, Musa Amalemba in North Nyanza, for the 1961 general elections.[2] The party received 3.3% of the national vote and Amalemba was elected. In the 1963 elections its vote share was reduced to 0.8%, resulting in it losing its seat.[3]
As the process of Kenya becoming a one-party state began, the party was deregistered in March 1965.[4]
