A section of MPs from the County said he was the right Wiper party (Opposition) candidate to beat Malombe in the August 8, election.

The endorsement is contrary to Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's recommendation. It is believed he supported Malombe's re-election.

However, Musila said they would all go to the nominations, for the party to choose the best candidate to vie under the party.

Speaking, Wednesday, the lawmaker called on support from Kitui locals, saying the incumbent governor had failed to deliver.

Musila's endorsement was supported by his wife, Edith Mawia, who said the husband was Kitui's 'saviour'.
