Nominated Member of Parliament Godfrey Osotsi is fighting to save his seat after ANC expelled him for failing to tow the party line.
The national executive council, in a special meeting on Monday, kicked him out. He was also accused of mismanaging party funds.
This has made Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, who is also an ANC member to rash in Osotsi’s defense.
Malala and Osotsi have promised the mother of all political battles in their bid to wrest the party from Mudavadi.
“The same mistake he is committing is the same mistake he did with UDF. I would advise him to start looking for a party to run on because ANC has its owners,” Malala said.
“The purported expulsion is null and void. How can you chase someone from a party that is not yours?”
The Kakamega Senator dared the party to expel him for standing with Osotsi.
They plan to convene a national delegates conference during which they will declare the party’s real owners.
“I’ve tolerated the nonsense in ANC for long. I want to challenge those who have met to go to the Registrar of Political Parties to confirm the officials of ANC,” Osotsi said.
“How can someone come and intimidate me in my own party?”
To justify his claim on party’s ownership, Osotsi said Muluka unsuccessfully tried to field a candidate in Ugenya and Embakasi South because he was not recognised by the IEBC.
