Cracks in the relationship between Alfred Mutua's Maendeleo Chap Chap and the UDA Party played out publicly once again as a section of MCAs rejected the possibility of a merger between the two parties.
Led by Minority Leader Judas Mbili Ndawa, the MCAs refuted the notion that the Mutua-led party was looking to merge to gain more influence, particularly in the Ukambani region. "Chap Chap is a party that stands on its own," Ndawa said. "We have 12 members in the National Assembly.
We are not a small party as in the Ukambani region, we are second to the Wiper Party." He added, "There are some individuals who were pushing to have this party disbanded.
Let me make it clear that we have not had any meeting to discuss any merger." Minority Leader Judas Mbili Ndawa during a press conference on Thursday, January 30.
