The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has taken action against a group of seven Kisumu politicians who recently met with Tanga Tanga MPs in Uasin Gishu County.
The politicians, who were hosted by Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi at his private home, have been expelled from the party following the August 1, 2020, meeting.
The expelled politicians include Richard Ogendo, a former CEC in Governor Anyang' Nyong'o's administration, Owino Mahawa (Kondele ward), Omollo Mberu (Railways ward), Mr Maina Ochieng (Migosi), Dan Nyamori (Kondele), Jared Oriadha (Nyalenda B), and MCA Peter Ogwel.
The MCAs were all from the six wards within Kisumu Central Constituency.
Mr Ogendo defended himself, stating that he would have called a press conference if he were defecting from the Orange party.
"I do not do small politics, if I were to defect from ODM I would call a press conference and make it official for me to earn mileage," he said.
