Amani Nation Congress (ANC) officials are now pushing for the expulsion of Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala from the political outfit.
The officials met at ANC Amalemba office in Kakamega town on Sunday and revealed their plan to push for the removal of the senator after he endorsed ODM candidate in Kibra Imran Okoth as opposed to Eliud Owalo fronted for the seat by the party.
The officials have termed the move as disrespectful. They want the senator to be shown the door following the new move.
Led by party branch chairman Julius Arunga, the officials have lamented that Malala has contravened Political Parties Act and ANC constitution.
They said that it is saddening for Malala to back ODM yet he was elected on an ANC ticket. They also said that he has been hurling insults at his party leader Musalia Mudavadi following the recent twist of events.
“He rode to the Senate on ANC ticket and it is unfortunate when he (Malala) starts hurling insults at our party leader Musalia Mudavadi, disparaging the party and working with our competitors,” Arunga said as quoted by Standard.
Last weekend, Malala accompanied ODM officials to Kibra to campaign for Imran.
He said he is confident Imran will carry the day.
