Kabando wa Kabando Quits Martha Karua's Party over 'Cultistic Politics'

Former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando has quit Martha Karua-led Narc Kenya party over what he termed as “cultistic politics.”

In a series of tweets, Kabando said he has instructed the Registrar of Political Parties to deregister him from Nark Kenya, an affiliate party of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition.

“I believe in leadership teamwork and honesty. I detest chicanery and corruption. I thank @MarthaKarua and wish her well in Azimio ventures,” Kabando tweeted.

While reiterating his respect for Karua and Azimio leader Raila Odinga, Kabando noted that he was dissatisfied with the avenues the opposition alliance is using to keep President Ruto's administration in check.

“My family, confidants, allies, friends, and colleagues know of my tenacious support and trust in @MarthaKarua to compliment @RailaOdinga in our elusive quest to rekindle a national rainbow to crash graft and impunity. I regret we've lost it. Hopefully,  we'll reconnect better soon,” he wrote.

He added: “I'll continue to boldly & independently, or in league with like-minded souls, play my patriotic part to keep President Ruto's increasingly rogue regime in check. Sadly, neither ODM nor NarcK are acting institutionally in this endeavour. Cultistic politics is bad for democracy.”

Kabando contested for the Nyeri senate seat in the August 9th, 2022 general election on a Nark-Kenya party ticket but he lost UDA's Wahome Wamatinga.
