Intrigues surrounding the plot to oust National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula took a new twist on Thursday as legislators from the Western region came to his defence.

The Standard has also established that the push to save the embattled Speaker is emanating from State House, where a group of leaders from across the political divide were summoned on Wednesday night.
