Of the 36 MCAs in Nyamira, a whooping 27 supported the ouster motion on grounds of misuse of power with only six struggling to save the Kiabonyoru MCA as three others spoilt their votes.

Party lawyer Tony Motuti wrote Mr. Mokaya before calling Majority Leader Duke Masira to inform them of the position by the party leadership over Mr. Omoti's tribulations.

"Pursuant to our tele-conversation this morning and having consulted the party leadership, you are hereby requested to withdraw the said motion and allow the party to convene urgent for all MCAs.

"In the meeting, yiu will then ventilate on issues you have raised. Kindly treat this as the official party leadership position," wrote Mr. Moturi to the MCA Abel Mokaya.

Already, Moturi has said the party will subject Mr. Mokaya to disciplinary measures having defied an order from the entire leadership including Raila.

The ODM party will for now present a different candidate for the position of the deputy speaker, a move that could give Bogichora's George Morara an opportunity.
