Ford Kenya has distanced itself from remarks made by Kabuchai MP Majimbi Kalasinga.
Majimbo was speaking in Chwele Market while accompanying DP William Ruto during a tour of the region.
He said that DP William Ruto has gained footing in Western Kenya.
Majimbo went on the tell the crowd that Ford Kenya Party leader Moses Wetangula and Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka had sent them greetings.
“When you see Majimbo Kalasinga and Evans Kakaki here, Kabuchai is a closed close. We in Chwele and Bungoma in general, are one and the same. We will support you,” he said.
While speaking, Sirisia MP John Waluke and former MP aspirant Evans Kaki were by his side.
National Organizing secretary Chris Mandu Mandu said those are his own remarks and they do not represent the party position.
“As a party, we do not share into his sentiments. Those are his views. Ford Kenya is strong in Western Kenya and it remains so,” Mandu said.
Ford Kenya has also warned its members and those elected on its ticket from campaigning for its rivals.
The party said all those who think other parties are strong, will have it rough in the next elections since they won’t be given the Ford Kenya ticket.
