Dan Maanzo is one of the most respected leaders in the country.
He is among the vocal leaders from Ukambani region with a huge number of supporters.
Maanzo is a lawyer by profession and the current Makueni Member of Parliament
In 2008, he did an imaginable thing to Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, the Vice President then.
The MP together with Millie Odhiambo went to court and sue Kalonzo over the party's MPs nominations' row.
To them, it was unfair that they were not nominated to parliament though they had earlier been promised by the party leader.
Instead, Kalonzo nominated Mohammed Affey from North Eastern and Shakira Omar from the Coastal region.
Kalonzo's decision didn’t please him as an ODM Kenya chairman, the party that Kalonzo contested on its ticket in 2007 election.
Maanzo asked the High court to stop forwarding the two names belonging to the people Kalonzo had nominated to the president for gazettement.
He referred to Kalonzo as a traitor who didn’t mind about him.
To them, the party had already nominated them, only to be shortchanged by nominating other people.
