They accused him of withdrawing from the joint campaigns and supporting the UDA candidate Mwambu Mabonga for the senatorial race.<\/p>\n<p>Ford Kenya has continued to reap big in Bungoma as it has received defectors from the Azimio La Umoja team. On Saturday, Wetang\u2019ula received Webuye West politician Kelly Walubengo from the UDP.<\/p>\n<p>Others who have joined Ford Kenya include former Kanduyi MP Alfred Khang\u2019ati, Sirisia politician Moses Nandalwe and MCA\u2019s allied to the Azimio la Umoja.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in Webuye on Saturday after joining Ford Kenya party, Walubengo said he has officially ditched Raila\u2019s led coalition and joined President Ruto\u2019s Kenya Kwanza.<\/p>\n<p>He said he made the move so that his Webuye West residents can reap big from the government. \u201cI have decided to work with Speaker Moses Wetang\u2019ula so that Webuye can also benefit from the government,\u201d Walubengo said.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Walubengo presented a petition at Bungoma law courts opposing the IEBC results where the current MP Dan Wanyama was announced the winner of the Webuye parliamentary seat.<\/p>\n<p>The case is still at Bungoma law court. However, Walubengo called on his supporters to back Ford Kenya\u2019s candidate David Wafula Wakoli to replace Wetang\u2019ula as senator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have several candidates seeking to replace Wetang\u2019ula but Wakoli is the best option. Let\u2019s not be confused by some few people,\u201d Walubengo said adding that he will rally voters to back Wakoli.<\/p>\n<p>Bungoma Woman MP who doubles as the Bungoma Ford Kenya chairperson Catherine Wambilianga said the senate seat belongs to Ford Kenya and it must be retained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the only seat we have in the Senate and we can\u2019t let it go. Wakoli must win,\u201d Wambilianga said.<\/p>\n<p>Webuye West MP Dan Wanyama in his reply maintains that he will firmly stand with former Bumula MP Mwambu Mabonga to the last minute saying that he is equal to the task.<\/p>\n<p>Wetang\u2019ula said he will crisscross the entire county together with the chief minister Musalia Mudavadi and other Ford Kenya leaders to campaign for the lion\u2019s party candidate Wafula Wakoli. The Speaker argues that Wakoli has served in his office as the manager and he knows everything and the roles of the senator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
