Mudavadi's ANC Party Threatens to Ditch NASA
Musalia Mudavadi's Amani National Congress Party (ANC) has threatened to quit the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) over Parliament leadership list.
ANC has accused their coalition partner, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) that is led by Raila Odinga of taking all leadership positions in Parliament for themselves while sidelining other parties that form the alliance.
Speaking at Parliament buildings on Wednesday, ANC Deputy Party leader Ayub Savula said the party is considering walking out of the coalition and accused ODM of shortchanging other affiliate parties in Nasa.
“We regret the list and we are forced to ask Musalia mudavadi out of NASA as we focus on 2022,” said Savula.
Nasa MPs from the Coast region have also resisted the list of house leadership submitted to the National Assembly and the Senate. The MPs claimed that the list lacked gender and regional representation.
The list submitted to the Parliament on Wednesday named Bungoma senator Moses Wetangu’la as the Senate Minority Leader (FORD Kenya), deputized by his Siaya counterpart James Orengo (ODM).
In the National Assembly, Suba South MP John Mbadi was named as National Assembly Minority Leader (ODM), while Robert Mbui is the National Assembly Deputy Minority Leader (Wiper).
Makueni senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr is the new Senate Minority Whip (Wiper) and deputized by nominated senator Petronilla Were (ANC), while Junet Mohammed is the National Assembly Minority Whip (ODM). Chris Wamalwa was appointed as National Assembly Deputy Minority Whip (FORD Kenya).

All I can hear is pin drop silence from Doreen and her cousin Guest1.
Nothing new here Mr. Bighead. How long are you going to wait to learn your brother RAO? He has never respected his partners brother!
The People who Convinced Raila to WITHDRAW from the Oct.26.17 Presidential Race should take RESPONSIBILITY for this mess. Meanwhile: I go to bed PEACEFUL Everyday Knowing that Raila WON on 8/8/17. Raila TIBIM!!!
Aren't they the same pple advising baba to swear himself in as president - an even bigger mess - an exercise in futility ... koma wega mwana witu
Word has it that Orengo, Mbadi and Etale are working really hard to get back to Raila's good books as he's not happy with any of them. I can't believe they are advising him to dig an even deeper hole!
I think they're the same people (who I Guess were Bought by Jubilee).
@Guest - Their way of apologizing for this mess is by misleading baba even more by convincing him to get sworn in as president - What a joke - they realize they messed up and are trying to make up for it by causing an even bigger mess. I heard today baba is protesting at the UN - he is protesting as who ??? He didn't even contest in the election that he is complaining about but there were 7 other contestants - A winner emerged and the rest is history. My gut tells me baba would have done really well on Oct 26th and the SC would have probably ordered a re-count or something. Not contesting was such a big mistake ... NKT NKT
There was no WINNER on Oct.36.17. There was a TAKER on a SILVER Platter (and that was Uhuru).
so did you expect the winner not to take ? tumia bongo - if you win, then you take the award that you have won - ama you though uhuru would win then refuse to take the presidency or give it to baba ? tumira hakiri meni
Raila needs to be guided by his own head. He is using other peoples brains which ends putting him in lots of trouble. Guest1 and Doreen, help Raila.
Its good therapy @Guest1. Keep it up
That must be very self-comforting.I agree with you.
This big fat bull aint going nowhere ... baba has you by the balls
I have no mercy for them. Here I support fake Joshua. Raila give all those jobs to your Luo Nyanza ODM supporters. They did not bring anything at the table and by the way what did they expect?
These fools are lucky baba is giving them some leftovers. And why are they fighting over parliamentaly leadership yet they have boycotted the same, only making technical apearance?
Threats ? Please learn from kalonzo.. he has promised for last 15 years and what has Raila done? Nothing but greed.. it's all about him.. wetangula has sank the NASA ship.. There is no future and it's best to split. Your party ANC is useless though it doesn't hurt to stick around they not your nothing without them..Mudavadi it's best yiybsuck your pride and join jubilee that's your only political hope.. Uhuru betrayed you but ruto will consider something for you 2022...Think about yourself mudavadi Raila enjoys publicity and will never think of anyone else
At least Kalonzo is grooming his son.
Kweli kabisa .. very wise of him
Surely, how did this guys expect positions yet they let down the plan to resist the 26th election in their areas.
Inakaa NASA is heading towards its own recession :-)
There are not enough positions to go around furthermore the luhya are a complicated group as they have too many dialects and some do not understand each other when they speak.Baba did the best he could but one or more dialects will always feel left out.As usual Jubilee is reaching for straws and will attempt to bribe anybody in the opposition so that it appears they are reaching out to the opposition however they forgot one thing what about the people that died during this election.Their money will not raise the dead nor will this people be forgotten by their kin .When will this ruling government solve the mystery of why and who killed Chris Msando.His family is still waiting yet all we keep hearing is tano tena.
