On Friday, Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria posted a picture of the Democratic party’s flag and lamp symbol and later posted that DP will be the party of choice for leaders in Mt Kenya. Could this be a clear indication that the lawmaker is salivating for the party?
“To all my detractors out there, let us meet at the grassroots. DP is the party of the region. We leave the others to (Nominated MP Maina) Kamanda,” he posted on one of the post on social media.
A section of the party’s leadership led by Deputy Secretary-General Wambugu Nyamu opposed Mr Kuria’s move and affiliation but later retracted their statement.
Mr Haji said he was not aware of the MP’s statement indicating that he seeks to use the DP as a vehicle for his future political contests, noting that Mr Kuria can only do that after officially defecting from Jubilee Party.
“Everybody is welcome to join our party, but through the procedure provided for in our party constitution. There is a way of joining our party which is not through social media posts.”
The party said that for Mr Kuria’s comments can only be taken seriously if he writes officially to the party or meets the party official and express his desire. “He has not joined DP but he is welcome to be part of the family if he so wishes.”
