The establishment of a large land transfer program and its acceptance by the nationalists within the framework of a coalition government in 1962 stood as a monument to the success of the Europeans' bargaining, and as an epitaph for the groups. Pressure from the farmers had encouraged the British government's growing awareness that the land issue (and the fate of Kenyan decolonization and the European settlers) was not being resolved by their previous programs. The liberals' bargaining, in turn, assisted the rightward movement of the nationalists and their acceptance of the transfer schemes as well as coalition government. But at the same time, the conservatives and liberals had undermined their political rationale. The conservative groups had offered their followers a viable exit and by so doing had reduced the numbers of their supporters. The liberals having groomed their African successors had likewise fulfilled their role. The political climate of the African state further enhanced the demise of the European political groups and the representation of European interests through non-political associations.
