A section of Wiper supporters at the Coast have opposed Kalonzo Musyoka's endorsement of businessman Dr John Chamia as the Mombasa branch chairman.
In a petition to the party, they opposed the 'arbitrary selection of Dr Chamia' without going through an election.
The businessman is linked to Joacham Hospital and other businesses in the Coast region.
Mvita party branch chairman Abdulsalaam Kassim opposed the endorsement of the official, saying it violates the party's constitution and ideals. "The party leader's selection of Dr Chamia goes against the party's constitution and the spirit of adhering to democratic ideals we have espoused for years since we joined Wiper," said Kassim.
