[Photo: Wavinya Ndeti]Wiper Democratic Movement - Kenya's leader, Kalonzo Musyoka has suffered a blow, after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) dispute resolution tribunal barred Wavinya Ndeti from vying for Machakos governor seat.The former Kathiani MP was the leader of Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU), before decamping to Wiper, where she was nominated during party primaries, to vie.Her entry to Wiper, which is an affiliate party to the National Super Alliance (Nasa), came as a relief to the Opposition, especially Kalonzo, who sees her as the best bet for incumbent Machakos governor Dr Alfred Mutua.Mutua is vying on a Maendeleo Chap Chap Party (MCCP), which supports Nasa's rivals, Jubilee.Wavinya was barred after the IEBC dispute tribunal found out that her Wiper nomination was irregular, for she a member of two parties during nomination."As at the time of the nomination of Ndeti, she was both a member of CCU and Wiper party which is against the law," said the panel, Thursday.This is after a petition was filed challenging her eligibility, by members of her party, CCU.If she is struck from the IEBC register of political candidates, this will deal a major blow to Kalonzo, who is the Nasa presidential running mate, his Wiper party, and the entire Opposition.
