AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Kadu-Asili has written to the Registrar of Political Parties alleging a scheme by some Members of Parliament to hijack the party.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated January 14, Coast based Kadu-Asili party leader Gerald Thoya asked the registrar to intervene to stop “illegal infringements” to his party.<\/p>\n

Thoya told the registrar that the alleged attempted coup in the party had sparked mistrust and a leadership dispute.<\/p>\n

Thoya claimed outsiders allied to Deputy President William Ruto had usurped Kadu-Asili leadership and amended its constitution to fit their interests without the knowledge of the party’s leadership.<\/p>\n

“I wrote to the Registrar of Political Parties after I learnt that some people had invaded our party and amended the constitution, symbols, colours and slogan without our knowledge,” he said.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa (pictured<\/strong>) launched a membership recruitment drive for Kadu-Asili at her home in Kakuyuni.<\/p>\n

“Kadu-Asili is the house. The whistle has been blown and we are marching ahead with the coconut (the party’s symbol),” said Jumwa in her social media account.<\/p>\n

The picture shared by Jumwa in her social media accounts, however, indicates that Kadu-Asili has changed its colours from green and black to green, white, red and black, like the Kenyan flag.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Jumwa’s phones went unanswered, but in one of her posts she claims the party would have new leaders to chart the political, economic and social direction for the Coast people.<\/p>\n

Thoya now appears to pour cold water on Jumwa’s ambitions, accusing her of orchestrating a coup in the party.<\/p>\n

“I had to move swiftly and rescue the party from these people masquerading as genuine politicians with the interests of the region at heart,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
