Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama has affirmed that he is still a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) despite declaring support for the ruling coalition.
Arama said he will move to Jubilee Party (JP) in 2017 after the expiry of his term.
"As far as am concerned am still a member of ODM until the expiry of my term in office next year," Mr. Arama told a local paper.
The MP said he will not honour summons to appear before the ODM disciplinary committee stating he had not defected from the opposition party.
"What I have done is to express my desire to defend the parliamentary seat on a Jubilee Party ticket, otherwise I am still a member of ODM," he said.
Mr Arama has been summoned before ODM’s disciplinary committee alongside other 12 leaders.
They will be expected to explain why they went against the orange party's ideals and principals by joining other political parties when their terms of service have not expired.
