Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria has reacted to the ODM party’s announcement that it had officially left the National Super Alliance.
In a statement on Facebook, Kuria said leaving the coalition is the best decision ODM party leader Raila Odinga has made.
The legislator stated that the other Nasa coalition partners – Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula – only rode on Raila’s political influence.
“The best decision my friend Baba has ever made is to get out of Nasa. You carry people on your back. They ride on your votes, your energy, your money.”
“They scratch your neck. And they go all over town saying they should be the Presidential Candidate because you are unelectable,” Kuria said on Thursday.
The Gatundu South MP’s remarks came after the Orange party announced that it had resolved to exit Nasa.
ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna made the announcement after an NEC meeting chaired by Raila.
“We still hold that Nasa is the past. To further demonstrate this point, the NEC of ODM has today resolved to formally exit the Nasa coalition,” Sifuna said.
The party announced on Thursday that it will write to the Registrar of Political Parties communicating its decision to exit the four-year-old coalition.
Sifuna said the party is in the process of courting future friends and will soon be hitting the ground in regional tours.
“We intend to embark on a programme to build new partnerships and extend the ongoing talks with our potential partners to the grassroots,” he said.
ODM’s exit followed that of Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper party, which announced its exit from the coalition on Monday. BY THE STAR
