Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika has condemned ODM party National Governance Council's move to expel Kilifi MP Aisha Jumwa.
Kihika said the decision is a blow to democracy.
"As we are pushing hard for gender parity, ODM has expelled Hon. Aisha Jumwa. The intolerance in ODM should be condemned by every democratic Kenyan. Expelling Hon.Jumwa, a strong, focused and able leader, is a backward step negating all the gains we have made for women in leadership," she said.
The Kilifi lawmaker was expelled for reportedly supporting Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
She has, however, remained defiant saying she must be allowed to serve her 5-year term.
Alongside Aisha, Msambweni MP Suleiman Dori was also in hot soup but survived expulsion after he apologized to the party.
