Uhuru Ousted as Kanu Boss

A Kanu National Delegates Congress in Mombasa called and organized by former powerful cabinet minister and now Keiyo South Mp Nicholas Kipyator arap Biwott and his allies this morning ousted from office Gatundu South Mp Uhuru Kenyatta as the party’s national Chairman.

During the NDC which was held at the coastal resort of Mombasa also kicked out of office any other national official(s) who had earlier on joined Orange Democratic Movement-Kenya (ODM-Kenya).
If the results of the conference as upheld by the registrar-general, Uhuru would dramatically lose his position in parliament as the leader of the official opposition and replaced by his bitter rival Biwott whom he controversially beat at last year’s NDC held at Nairobi’s Kasarani Sports Complex.

According to the outcome of the meeting apparently attended by an estimated 3,000 delegates the self-proclaimed “Total Man” was elected unopposed as the Chairman while the post of the Secretary-General went to Dr. Josphine Ojiambo who now replaces former Home Affairs minister and Eldoret North Mp William Ruto.

But as the Biwott camp which is heavily backed by retired President Daniel Moi was celebrating, the Uhuru-Ruto camp was busy organizing a similar NDC slated for Monday at Kasarani Stadium. Ruto on his part was quick to dismiss the Mombasa meeting.

“What is going on in Mombasa to the best of our opinion is inter-parties meeting between people of New Kanu and others of Narc (Government). It has no bearing whatsoever on what (original) Kanu is all about”.

The beleaguered Uhuru NDC expects to ratify the decision by the National Governing Council (NGC) to endorse their joining of ODM-Kenya, as a corporate member.
The meeting has also created the post of national Deputy Chairman which has gone to former cabinet minister Katana Ngala. One of the vice chairmen's post held by Dalmas Otieno – co-chair for the minimum reforms committee - has been taken over by former cabinet minister Prof. Sam Ongeri.
