Wetangula who was dismissed on grounds of gross misconduct has been replaced by Kanduyi MP Wafula Wanyonyi as the interim party leader.
While addressing the press after delegates meeting, the Party’s Secretary-General Eseli Simiyu said the party had lost its ideals under Wetangula’s leadership.
The removal of Wetangula was witnessed by Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wamangati who said the decision was informed by the need to improve the standing of the party, with sights on the 2022 political showdown.
A viral video captured before the vote to kick out Wetangula shows a group of youth allied to Wetangula storming the NEC’s meeting claiming the party was being hijacked by ‘selfish individuals’ with ulterior motives.
