The Chama Cha Kazi (lit.'Party of Labour' or 'Labour Party') is a political party in Kenya. The party motto "Kazi na Pesa" loosely translates into "Work and Money".[1]
History
[edit]The party was founded in 2021 by Moses Kuria after he left the People's Empowerment Party.[1]
In April 2022, the party faced a schism.[2] They contested the 2022 Kenyan general election as part of Kenya Kwanza, and elected one MP.[3] Following his nomination as a cabinet secretary, Kuria started a process of disbanding his party to join the United Democratic Alliance.[4]
Chama Cha Kazi stood candidates in the November 2025 by-elections in Embu.[5]
