Forget About Ford-K Leadership, Wangamati Tells Moses Wetang'ula ¶
Published on July 2, 2020
Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati has told Senator Moses Wetang'ula to accept his ouster as Ford Kenya party leader, saying the decision is now final.
Speaking in Kimilili, Mr Wangamati said Senator Wetang'ula should stop wasting time in the courts and accept that he was duly ousted by party members.
Mr Wangamati was among a group of leaders from Bungoma who kicked out Senator Wetang'ula last month.
"I want to tell (Mr) Wetang'ula that matters of Ford Kenya party leadership were done and dusted and he should sit back and allow other people to lead him," he said.
Mr Wangamati alleged that Senator Wetang'ula had used the same tactics to oust his predecessor Musikari Kombo and that he should quit in peace.
He said Ford Kenya members were justified in throwing out Senator Wetang'ula, adding that the decision was reached after soul-searching and proper consultations.
"I want to assure Ford Kenya members that all is well," said Mr Wangamati.
He said it is only a matter of time before the new leadership starts revamping the party.
