Ford-Kenya party leader Moses Wetang’ula has accused his Amani party counterpart Musalia Mudavadi of causing confusion among leaders who want to unite the Luhya. The opposition leader told Mr Mudavadi, who is a former deputy Prime Minister, to stop wasting time in Luhya politics because he “squandered his opportunity” to lead the nation. The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy co-principal said: “Mr Mudavadi seems to have forgotten so fast the way he was called shetani (devil) by Jubilee leaders before the elections. He has forgotten how he was crying on television claiming to have been short-changed. No one can give you the country’s leadership on a silver platter,” he said. WAR OF WORDS The Amani coalition leader began a war of words with the Cord leadership after he realised that he was politically obsolete regionally and nationally, Mr Wetang’ula claimed.

We are going to totally ignore him,” he said at a campaign rally at Mateka in Bumula constituency Mr Wetang’ula is the Cord candidate in the December 19 Bungoma senatorial by-election. He said it was shameful for Mr Mudavadi to attack former Prime Minister Raila Odinga without a reason. His opponent in the by-election, former Webuye MP Musikari Kombo yesterday traversed Mt Elgon region for votes a day after independent candidate David Makali camped in the constituency. Addressing residents at stop-overs in Toywandet, Kapkateny, Chemwesus, Kaptama and Kaposkwony, Mr Kombo told the residents to turn out in large numbers and on the election day. He was accompanied by area MP John Serut, New Ford-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa and Webuye West MP Dan Wanyama, who said that the voters were denied their choice in March.
