Opposition principal Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has finally been dewhipped as the Leader of the Minority by NASA MPs according to reports from well-placed individuals and some media outlets.
NASA MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of Wetangula's dramatic ouster.
This development seals his fate as the Leader of Minority in the Senate after days of speculation about his fate.
The decision to dewhip him was reached during a parliamentary group meeting held at the Orange House after the dramatic handshake between Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta at Harambee House.
According to Suba Constituency MP John Mbadi, the decision was reached due to the arrogance showed by some members of the coalition in spite of not having numbers in Parliament.
The move to dewhip Wetangula is bound to muddy the waters in NASA as the coalition grapples with the prospect of collapse and an acrimonious fallout.
Wetangula gave Raila Odinga's mock inauguration a wide berth and his dewhipping is being interpreted as a response to that.
Ford Kenya Party won a single seat in the Senate.
Wetangula had warned that a divorce in NASA would be messy and bitter.
It would be interesting to see the implications the dramatic development will have on the political landscape.
