[Photo| Standard]Former Nairobi gubernatorial candidate Miguna Miguna has taken a swipe at the Wiper deputy party leader Farah Maalim. This is after Maalim, through his Twitter account, on Wednesday hit out at those who criticised him following his stand for not supporting Opposition Raila Odinga's swearing-in.The former Garissa Township parliamentary aspirant further went ahead to challenge his critics to speak out after Raila's inauguration was postponed. "When I objectively advised against the swearing in of Raila I was vilified on social media as a sellout. Now that Raila/family are not keen on the idea it would be interesting to see the reactions of many NASA social media enthusiasts.Transact politics with heads not hearts alone," Maalim noted. In a reply, Miguna who is also the National Resistance Movement (NRM) general accused the former speaker of being an opportunistic hypocrite.He further told Maalim to go hide in a cave somewhere in the Aberdares noting NRM was unbowed by tumbocrats."You remain an opportunistic hypocrite whether you are joined by "family members" or not. Nothing to wail about. Go and hide in a cave somewhere in The Aberdares, chief. #NRM is unbowed by tumbocrats no matter who they are. Viva!," Miguna replied via a tweet, Wednesday.
Maalim battled Aden Duale in the Garissa Township parliamentary seat in the August elections, losing to the current Majority Leader in the parliament.
He was the former MP for Lagdera.
