From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shirikisho Party of Kenya is a political party in Kenya. (Shirikisho means Union or Federation in Swahili). The party was formed in 1997 and had some political influence in the Coast Region. At the last legislative elections, 27 December 2002, the party won 1 out of 212 elected seats.

At the Kenyan general election, 2007, Shirikisho was part of the newly-created alliance Party of National Unity led by President Mwai Kibaki ^[1] but failed even to clinch a single seat in parliament ^[2].
