Embattled Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua now says he is not afraid of by-election days after his election was nullified by the Court of Appeal.
Mutua says he is ready to battle and defend his position.
Addressing journalists in Machakos town on Tuesday, the Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader said he will shame his political enemies.
Mutua claimed that his political enemies have ganged up to finish him but they will not succeed.
“I am and will remain the Machakos Governor until 2022 and whoever is doubting that should watch this pace," Mutua said.
The governor said he is aware of people who have been planning for his downfall.
Mutua claimed his rivals have resorted to propaganda and malicious campaigns to tarnish his name.
“We are not going to be shaken and I urge my supporters to remain calm and peaceful,” Mutua added.
He is battling to save his political career following the Court of Appeal's ruling which nullified his August 8, 2017 election victory.
The Maendeleo Chap Chap leader has appealed the ruling at the Supreme Court.
On Tuesday, Mutua suffered another blow after the Machakos County Assembly voted to have him ousted.
Political analysts observe that it is too early to condemn the governor to political oblivion, noting that the Supreme Court may reinstate him as the validly elected governor.
