The political woes facing Bungoma Senator and CORD co-principal Moses Wetang’ula have widened the rift between Ford Kenya and New Ford Kenya (NFK) as leaders from the two parties clash over the saga.

Wetang’ula, who is also the Leader of Minority in the Senate, is facing voter bribery charges which may lead to his name being removed from the voters’ register, thus complicating his political future and that of his party.
