National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi could be kicked out of the Democratic Party if a petition lodged against him sails through.

The petition filed at the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal seeks to have Mr Muturi ousted as the party leader after he joined the Kenya Kwanza coalition without discussing the decision with his party organs.
