Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama has revealed why he decided not to defend his senate seat.
The outspoken senator cited massive irregularities and injustice in the Wiper Party, which is led by Nasa vice president candidate, Kalonzo Musyoka.
The senator said only the chosen few were given tickets by Wiper, adding that he will not campaign anywhere for the party.
"I regret the way Wiper is being micro-managed to the disadvantage of some party members. My decision was influenced by the way Wiper affairs are being conducted," he said.
He added, "I do not feel that I have the face, anymore, to campaign or face out supporters of Wiper all over because the party has betrayed the people's trust, just like it did in 2013, by imposing Governor Alfred Mutua on the people."
Muthama, however, said he will still campaign for Nasa presidential candidate, Raila Odinga.
He accused the Wiper party of denying members of the public the right to nominate their preferred leaders, by issuing direct nominations.
"Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana and CCU leader Wavinya Ndeti were given tickets while others were left to go through nominations which were marred by irregularities," he said.
