Malindi Member of Parliament, Aisha Jumwa, been expelled from the ODM party. The party’s National Governing Council on Friday said Jumwa had been expelled for gross misconduct.
Jumwa and her counterpart from Msambweni constituency, Suleiman Dori, have been lately rubbed the party the wrong way for their alignment with Deputy President William Ruto’s camp in the 2022 presidential succession politics.
Dori has meanwhile been summoned to appear before a special National Governing Council that will be convened within 60 days to explain himself.
