The lion party leader had earlier ignored a document that was circulating on social media purporting to be an order by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) that suspended the NDC. The tribunal said it suspended the NDC pending the hearing and determination of a petition filed by Crispinus Barasa under a certificate of urgency. They nevertheless progressed with the NDC as planned with Wetangula assuring delegates that the party remains strong and on a steady growth.
The party late on the same day hosted invited guests including Wetangula’s co-principals in the One Kenya Alliance (OKA); Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper party), Gideon Moi (KANU) and Cyrus Jirongo among others.

NGOME DITCHES FK;
Bungoma Deputy Governor and Senatorial aspirant Prof. Charles Kibanani Ngome and CECM for Roads, Infrastructure and Public Works Collins Mukhongo yesterday Tuesday, 30 Nov. 2021 visited the Deputy President William Samoei Ruto at his Karen Residence in Nairobi County where they were officially welcomed into UDA.
From Prof. Ngome’s utterances, he seems keen to wreck the lion party even after joining UDA as his party of choice for 2022. Professor indicated that he will ensure he brings Ford Kenya to its knees in favor of UDA.
It must be remembered that Professor Ngome is a specialist in “testing waters” (Omwinyambi) one who says things for the purposes of getting a reaction, a reaction that would then advise future actions. He is nevertheless very good at the mic and would drive home a point that would otherwise prove impossible.
The move by Ngome is nevertheless the clearest indication that the coup plotters will all be joining Ruto’s UDA
