ODM Party National Treasurer and former Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire has dismissed James Gesami's defection to the ruling Jubilee Party.
Gesami is the immediate former MP West Mugirango.
He announced his defection to Jubilee from ODM on Sunday, citing frustration in the Opposition outfit.
"Since I lost the acrimonious ODM nominations, NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has not looked for me. I have decided to join Jubilee and support Uhuru's re-election bid. It is no longer speculation," Gesami remarked on Monday.
However, in a quick rejoinder, Bosire downplayed Gesami's defection as inconsequential and 'self-seeking.'
"Nyamira and the larger Gusii should stay on course in NASA. Across the country, every Kenyan is yearning for change and it is regrettable that some leaders cannot withstand challenges," Bosire said.
"Gesami's move is driven by personal selfish needs and satisfaction," he added.
