Ford Kenya has fired rebel officials who allegedly attempted to topple party leader Moses Wetangula.
The rebel faction was reportedly led by Trans Nzoia Senatorial aspirant Ken Wafula, Nairobi chairman Komesa Lupesia and National organising Secretary Peter Munyae.
Wafula has however responded on the issue.
“We have looked at the resolutions passed at an illegal governing council meeting, hosted by Wetang'ula, at Bomas of Kenya a week ago. He wants all other branch officials appointed so that they can be sycophants," said Wafula.
The purported rebels have also written a petition to the registrar of political parties to block amendments to the party constitution.
Kwanza MP Ferdinand Wanyonyi said the rebel group led by Wafula was being used by rivals to cripple Ford Kenya.
“We don’t need such characters in the party. They are political mercenaries for hire and cannot have a vision for anything," he said.
