“Young, educated leaders will help grow the party, the era of dictatorship passed long time ago, we must consult and plan things together for its success,” he said.
The county has four elected Jubilee MPs: Fred Kapondi (Mt Elgon), Didmus Barasa (Kimilili), Dan Wanyama (Webuye West) and John Waluke (Sirisia).
The new interim officials are chairman Didmus Barasa, vice chairman for strategy Dan Wanyama, vice chairman for operations Moses Sikuta, secretary general MCA Chesikaki Ben Kipkut, deputy secretary general Leonard Muyelele, organising secretary Martin Wanyonyi, deputy organising secretary Lwandanyi MCA Tony Barasa, deputy organising secretary for strategy Jane Chepernge, woman leader Reginalda Wanyonyi and chairman of the Parliamentary caucus Fred Kapondi.
Waluke called Barasa for insincere, and called his removal null and void and said he was the legitimate party chairman.
“It is laughable that the assembled people who have never been officials have allocated positions to themselves," he said.
He said the national office doesn’t recognise the Barasa-led faction, calling the coup "pure theatrics".
Waluke said he had no personal differences with Barasa.
He said the Kimilili MP only got offended when he said on a local station that he gets the iron sheets he distributes in his constituency from Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa.
“I don’t know why he got offended yet it is true that the iron sheets he has been going around purporting to be donating are from the Devolution ministry," Waluke said.
