Wiper Party has accused Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua of hatching a plot to interfere with the political outfits nominations.
The former vice Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, also the party boss, was forced to postpone Wiper Machakos Governor Nominations to create time for investigations into the allegations as the outfit seeks to dethrone Mutua from power in August.
In a statement released to the newsrooms, the leadership of the party claimed that other parties including Maendeleo Chap Chap through Governor Mutua were working on a plan to ensure that the exercise is not free and fair as expected.
Peter Mathuki, Bernard Kiala and Wavinya Ndeti, who were eyeing the governorship ticket on Wiper, were summoned by the party’s election board after which the nominations were canceled.
“We are aware that people have been mobilized to ensure that they interfere with the outcome of the gubernatorial nominations in Machakos, and it is well known that there is a direct interest by one of the Jubilee affiliates – that is, Maendeleo Chap Chap through Governor Mutua -- to ensure that they tamper or interfere with the outcome in term of the nominations of the Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya,” read part of the Wiper press statement, as quoted by Standard.
