Machokas Senator Johnson Muthama has quit the Wiper Party and stated that he will not be defending his seat in the upcoming elections, but will instead be spearheading Raila Odinga's presidential campaign.
He Senator accused Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka of dictating and imposing incompetent leaders on the Kamba Community.
The outspoken Senator further indicated he will not be campaigning anywhere for the Wiper party.
"As I contemplate my next move, I assure there will be a bruising political battle in Ukambani and that the voice of the people will be heard.
"I do not feel that I have the face, anymore, to campaign or face out supporters of Wiper all over because the party has betrayed the people's trust, just like it did in 2013, by imposing Governor Alfred Mutua on the people," he emphasised
Muthama further cited massive irregularities and injustice in the party, stating that the wiper leadership had preferred candidates who were being handed direct tickets.
He lamented that it was undemocratic for the party to issue direct nomination for instance in Makueni County and deny loyal party members and die-hard supporters the chance to contest fairly.
"It is sad the party gave Prof. Kivutha Kibwana, a defector, whose party, Muungano had an illegal pact forced down the throats of wiper party members by the Party leader.
"This act killed the ambitions of some members of Wiper who wished to run under our party for the Governor of Makueni," he stated.
Muthama further claimed that the party leadership had rigged in Wavinya Ndeti in the repeat nomination exercise that was held on Friday in a bid to ensure she beats Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala.
