Union of Kenya

The Union of Kenya (Swahili: Muungano wa Kenya) was one of the historical predecessors to the present-day Federation of Kenya. It came into being on 1 January 1971 with the growing hate of the current al-Musiq who was ruling over them and the Kenyan government. It was also the political state for the Kenyan National Union.
Following the Ten-Day War, it was granted territory status but lost it's political seats. It was conferred the administration of al-Murik and Jamale counties.
Like al-Musiq and other warlords, the Union of Kenya was a self-governing territory of the Islamic Republic of Kenya. The Union came to an end with the enactment of the constitution of 1978, by which it became a republic.
