Kenya African Union

Kenya African Union

Kenya African Union (KAU) (originally called Kenya African Study Union) was a political organization formed in 1944 to articulate Kenyan grievances against the British colonial administration of the time. Kenya African Union attempted to be more inclusive than its successor Kikuyu Central Association by avoiding tribal politics.

Kenya African Union was led by Jomo Kenyatta from 1947.

In 1960 KAU merged with Kenya Independent Movement and the People's Congress Party to form Kenya African National Union (KANU).
