Mwingi West MP Charles Ngusya Nguna (CNN) has officially abandoned Kalonzo Musyoka\u2019s Wiper Party and crossed over to President William Ruto\u2019s UDA.<\/p>\n

Today, Nguna was hosted at State House where he pledged allegiance to the ruling party.<\/p>\n

This defection was long in the making. During the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Nguna openly defied Kalonzo\u2019s directive that all Wiper MPs vote *NO*. Instead, he\u2014alongside Mavoko MP Patrick Makau\u2014broke ranks, voting *YES* after reportedly pocketing millions in \u201cincentives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Makau has since already silently dumped Wiper for UDA, and now with Nguna\u2019s exit, the duo now faces irate public as they get tags of “wasaliti”. Both MPs are said to have been instructed by State House handlers to cease\u00a0 from any event involving Kalonzo Musyoka(on Monday this week Nguna and Makau skipped Kalonzo Musyoka’s and opposition ally’s rally across machakos to kitui\u00a0 also another key event which Makau and Nguna\u00a0 skipped recently was the wiper’s NEC meeting)\u2014a clear signal they have cut ties and are chasing fortunes in Ruto\u2019s UDA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a show of open defiance to Kalonzo, **Mwala MP Vincent Kawaya, who also serves as UDA\u2019s National Organizing Secretary, personally welcomed Nguna into the UDA fold.** Kawaya\u2019s presence not only legitimized the move but also sent a strong message that Nguna\u2019s defection was carefully choreographed within Ruto\u2019s inner circle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is unfolding is not just defection\u2014it is betrayal. Nguna, Makau, and now with Kawaya\u2019s hand of welcome, the trio is positioning themselves as catalysts for a wider Wiper exodus, trading Kalonzo\u2019s future for quick political and financial fortunes under UDA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
