National Super Alliance (NASA) Members of Parliament (MPs) on Thursday explained why NASA CEO Norman Magaya did not get a slot in EALA.
MPs rejected the NASA CEO during the voting conducted on Thursday in his bid to represent Kenya at the regional assembly.
His loss has been attributed to his political way of handling things with a section of MPs citing his forceful way of conducting politics and coalition affairs.
NASA MPs who spoke to Nation attributed his failure to the fact that he joined the coalition recently and therefore, termed him as an outsider in the party.

Jubilee MPs, led by Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, linked his failure to the lack of unity in NASA and the failure to campaign for his candidature.
“For this reason, Jubilee did not take him seriously,” the Kiharu legislator noted.
The Jubilee MPs also noted that they preferred Raila Odinga’s elder brother, Oburu Odinga, than the young lawyer who has been the face of NASA’s rebellion against President Kenyatta.
Kalonzo Musyoka’s son, Kennedy and former Kamukunji MP Simon Mbugua were elected to represent Kenya in the East African Assembly.
Former lawmakers Mpuri Aburi (Tigania East ), Fatuma Ibrahim (Wajir), Aden Abdikadir (Balambala), Adan Nooru (Mandera North), Wanjiku Muhia (Nyandarua) and Florence Jematiah Sergon were also elected.
