Vocal Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria may be randed party less if he goes ahead with his plans of ditching Jubilee party this is after the Democratic Party leaders led by Deputy Secretary General Wambugu Nyamu said they were rejecting Mr Kuria’s move .
Mr Nyamu further said, “Kuria had publicly indicated he wants to join our party without informing us. He even formed a WhatsApp group named Democratic Party on Friday morning. But he later called the chairman on phone and was welcomed and allowed to publicise the party.”
However Kuria would have to defend his seat if he goes ahead with his plans of ditching Jubilee.
“Kuria’s support is welcome though according to the law, he would lose his seat in Parliament if he ditches Jubilee formally,” DP Chairperson Esau Kioni told journalists.
He added that there were many other politicians, including sitting elected leaders, and those who lost in the last election, who have shown interest to join the party.
The Gatundu South MP is known for his controversial remarks, the most recent being about President Uhuru Kenyatta’s performance in Central Kenya.
In what may have been a move to test the opinion of his supporters, Kuria posted DP’s flag on his Facebook page.
