Friday October 12, 2012 - Webuye MP Alfred Sambu’s defection from Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to United Democratic Forum has elicited mixed reactions among his supporters from Bungoma County.
Sambu who was ODM’s Western Province Vice Chairman ditched to Mudavadi’s UDF on Wednesday where he accused the ODM leadership of unending controversy and lack of internal democracy.
Many of Sambu supporters have vowed to remain in ODM, saying they will support Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s presidential bid.
Webuye Mayor Ali Machani,who has been a close ally of Mr Sambu termed the decision as” personal and selfish” adding that he did not consult his supporters in the constituency.
Meanwhile, Mt Elgon MP Fred Kapondi has officially ditched ODM to United Republican Party (URP).
