Alfred Mutua linked to new party as his future remains uncertain

Machakos, Kenya: Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua’s future within the Wiper Democratic Movement now appears uncertain following his Monday announcement that he would “seek refuge elsewhere” if he is pushed to the wall.

At the heart of the threat is a political grapevine that Mutua may have already identified an alternative political party to operate under should Wiper kick him out. The announcement has also placed Wiper bigwigs in a catch-22 position on how to deal with a governor who appears quite popular but who has technically rebelled from the party as evident by his conduct and pronouncements.
