Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana Named Chairman of Wiper Party

Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana has been named the new Chairman of Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Democratic Movement.

Kibwana replaces former Kitui Senator David Musila, who has since defected to ruling Jubilee party after losing the race for Kitui governor to Nark leader Charity Ngilu.

Nominated Senator Judith Sijeny has been appointed as the secretary general, taking the place of former Mombasa senator Hassan Omar, who also ditched the party for Jubilee after losing the Mombasa gubernatorial seat to ODM's Hassan Joho in August. 

“Members met on Monday and our main agenda was to fill vacant positions. Professor Kibwana was appointed chairman and Senator Sijeny secretary general, both in acting capacity until we hold the annual general meeting," Kathiani MP Robert Mbui said on Tuesday.

Mbui, who has been named as Deputy Minority Leader in the National Assembly also said that a meeting at an Athi River resort that brought together Wiper leaders re-affirmed their commitment to the National Super Alliance and its National Resistance Movement.

“We agreed to increase our visibility in NASA activities. We resolved that all our members must be in all activities of NRM so they do not look like ODM affairs. We are preparing for 2022 and the slot for the Presidency is ours,” Mbui said.
