Central Organisation of Trade Unions Secretary-General Francis Atwoli has dropped Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi as the Luhya community spokesman.
This is after Mudavadi skipped the swearing in of the 'people's president' Raila Odinga on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at Uhuru Park grounds in Nairobi.
Speaking on Friday during the burial of human rights activist Ken Wafula in Likuyani Constituency, Kakamega, Atwoli expressed his disappointment with Mudavadi and vowed never to support him again.
“I want to register my disappointment and displeasure with Mudavadi. At no time will I ever support him,” said Atwoli.
The COTU SG had endorsed the ANC chief as the Luhya community spokesman in December 2016.
“A person who aspires to be president should not be afraid of anything. We expected him to rally behind Odinga but he chickened out,” Atwoli noted.
“If Mudavadi knew that he was going to skip the event, he should have said so early instead of going into hiding on Tuesday," he added.
