The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has lost another member.
Migori Senator Wilfred Machage has moved to the Democratic Party.
He was received by DP leader Joseph Munyao officially on Friday.
The Senator said he will vie for Kuria West MP seat.
He, however, did not state whether he has informed ODM of his defection.
"Let the other parties not boast because of changed laws that give them more funds," he said on Friday.In July 2016, Machage hinted at quitting the Raila Odinga led party.
“We have many options as Kuria community and our votes are in high demand. We need respect and recognition from our Luo brothers so that we co-exist peacefully,” he said, as reported by Nation.
He added, “We voted for ODM in the last elections but nobody seems to appreciate that. Instead, I am heckled whenever I address meetings in Luoland ... we are not going to be taken for a ride.”
