Senator Moses Wetangulas fight to retain his position as Ford Kenya party leader has become futile as the register of political parties Ann Nderitu formally gazetted his removal.
Wetangula’s ouster was replaced with Kanduyi Member of Parliament Athanas W. Wamunyinyi.
The notice read that “Any person with written submissions concerning the intended change by the political party shall within 7 days from the date herein deposit them with the Registrar of Political Parties,” read the notice.
Ford Kenya’s National Executive Council on May 31, 2020, resolved to the dismissal of Moses Wetangulas party leader on the grounds of gross misconduct.
While addressing the press after a delegates meeting, Secretary-General Eseli Simuyi said the party had lost its ideals under Wetangula’s leadership.
“Don’t panic, coups are archaic to good order and activities of cowards. Anybody who wants to run for a seat in Ford Kenya file your papers and let’s meet at Bomas. I have no doubt delegates will still give me a chance to run this party,” said Wetangula.
He further announced the suspension of party Secretary General Simiyu – who had communicated his ouster— and replaced him with Chris Wamalwa in an interim position.
He also stated that his alleged replacement, Wamunyinyi, had been suspended and replaced with Vincent Mogaka as Sectoral Chair for Livestock.
“We condemn any idlers who are staging parochial coups in the party when the country is facing COVID-19 challenges, floods and locust invasion,” he said.
