Wetangula unmoved by defections and DAP-K party

Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula says he is not threatened by the formation of the Democratic Action Party of Kenya DAP-K.

Dismissing the newly-formed outfit as substitutes for bigger players who are out to distract voters, Wetangula asserted that his supporters cannot be lured.

He said the party has been set up to cause confusion among the voters.

The One Kenya Alliance co-principal further dismissed perceived efforts by Raila Odinga’s Azimio La Umoja supporting Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya in an effort to beat his prospects among the Western region electorate, terming them miserable.

DAP-K leader Wafula Wamunyinyi following the party’s launch in December said the new political faction was necessary to protect the Luhya community from being taken advantage of by other players.

The party was launched after a faction of Ford Kenya, led by Kanduyi MP Wamunyinyi and his Tongaren counterpart Eseli Simiyu, abandoned the Moses Wetangula-led party owing to much-publicized leadership wrangles
