Wetangula back on the lead after rescue from Political Parties Dispute Tribunal.

The Ford-Kenya leadership row took a new turn on Friday after Political Parties Dispute Tribunal (PPDT) reaffirmed Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula as the bonafide party leader.

During a sitting in Nairobi on Friday, PPDT said that the Wafula Wamunyinyi-led faction will face the disciplinary committee on Tuesday.

“The Wamunyinyi faction will face the disciplinary committee from Tuesday,” Lawyer Ben Millimo for Wetang’ula and Ford-Kenya said

This comes after the Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) Ann Nderitu published a notice of intent, in the Kenya Gazette, seeking views on the proposed replacement of Mr Wetang’ula with Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi as the party leader.

Ms Nderitu has since recalled a  notice published in the Kenya Gazette, seeking views on the proposed replacement of Mr Wetang’ula with Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi as the party leader.

The notice of June 8, 2020, also sought views on the intent to have Mr Mandu Mandu replaced by Ms Josephine Maungu as the Organising Secretary.

Three PPDT members Desma Nungo, Milly Lwanga and Dr Adelaide Mbithi terminated the dispute filed by Ford- Kenya lawyer Eunice Lumallas after the warring factions agreed to have the matter resolved internally.
