Junet Mohammed claims that Migori Governor Okoth Obado is a Jubilee sympathizer adding that he is being used by President Uhuru Kenyatta to wreck the ODM party.
Obado, who was elected on a PDP ticket, joined ODM in a ceremony that was presided over by party leader Raila Odinga.
And on Monday moments after chaos erupted in Migori town, Mohammed, who also doubles as ODM Director of election, accused Obado of misusing his power.
“The meeting wasn’t his and it is appalling that he could try to force his way in,” said Mohammed, challenging ODM disciplinary committee to take actions.
“He is a Jubilee mole and could rock the party from within. He is dangerous if he is allowed to survive in our party,” he added.
Even though Obado maintained his innocent, he however accused Mohammed of personalizing an ODM event by putting him out of the equation.
“I know they are calling me a mole but they should know that I am a governor. I deserve respect,” he said.
During the fracas, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho’s bodyguard was shot and rushed to a Nairobi hospital.
Mr. Mohammed is reportedly supporting election of former Rongo MP Ochilo Ayacko, who is set to face Obado.
