What happened after KANU won the Kenyan election of May 1963?

Following the Kenya African National Union (KANU) victory in the May 1963 elections, Jomo Kenyatta became the prime minister under a constitution that granted Kenya self-government.12

Key developments immediately following this period included:

• Independence: After further negotiations in London, Kenya achieved full independence from Britain on December 12, 1963.12
• Transition to a Republic: One year later, in 1964, Kenya became a republic. Jomo Kenyatta was inaugurated as the country's first president, with Oginga Odinga serving as vice president.13
• Consolidation of Power: During this transition, the main opposition party, the Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU), went into voluntary liquidation as most of its members transferred their allegiance to KANU, effectively making Kenya a one-party state.132
