Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi has been dealt a major blow after the Registrar of Political Parties trashes the party’s move to oust Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala from the party.
The Registrar of Polical Parties boss Anne Nderitu in a letter addressed to the ANC party leader said that party’s move to expel Malala did not follow scheduled process.
“The disciplinary proceedings were not concluded within the stipulated timelines under Article 49 of the ANC Party Constitution.”
“The National Governing Council did not approve the disciplinary committee as reconstituted by the NEC in line with Article 46 (1) (d)(ii) of the ANC party Constitution.” Nderitu outlined.
Mudavadi’s led party threw Malala out of the political outfit for allegedly disobeying the party and the party leader through a special meeting of National Governing Council last month.
According to the party, it had followed the due process and even invited the Senator to appear before the disciplinary committee of the party but he failed to attend.
“The special meeting of the NGC hereby adopts and ratifies the resolution for internal disciplinary of the party and NEC expelling Hon Cleophas Malala from the party membership,” the party’s resolution reads in part.
After the Senator failed to appear before the disciplinary committee, they recommended the lawmaker’s expulsion from the party.
