Raila now alleges a state-sanctioned plan to weaken his troops. But why ostracise members whom the party badly needs to thrive?
The Orange party has staggered grassroots elections to avert stiff competition and fallouts as party leaders insist they are still united even as several leaders seek to take over from Raila.
The expulsion came after Nyamita disregarded party summons at Chungwa House on May 8, over the fracas in Migori and Kisii counties.
The Orange Democratic Movement party (ODM) has summoned all elected and nominated leaders who were present during fracas at a funeral in Migori and church service in Kisii county.
Raila regretted that the party is planning for the grassroots elections with a lot of difficulties.
Last week, the Kisii county assembly vetted and approved the name of Elijah Obebo as the nominee for deputy governor.
