Former Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri now says he is no longer a member of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party.
Speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, Ngunjiri accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of “short-changing loyalists” who had campaigned for them in the 2022 General Election.
“I worked for UDA yet got no roles. Even before we could remove ourselves from the party, we had already been removed. They are giving people positions but where am I? I was almost dying fighting for UDA,” he claimed.
The former lawmaker said he will either join another political party or go independent.
He, however, maintains that he will continue to support President William Ruto.

The High Court would then deal a blow on the nominations, terming the creation of the positions as unconstitutional.
