Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa have been officially expelled from ODM party. The fate of his Msambweni counterpart Suleiman Dori will be known after 60 days.

The party’s National Governing Council on Friday said Jumwa had been expelled for gross misconduct.

Jumwa and Dori have been accused of supporting DP William Ruto’s 2022 bid.

Dori was excused after writing an apology letter to the council.

He has been directed to appear before a special National Governing Council that will be convened within 60 days to explain himself.

ODM’s disciplinary committee had recommended the expulsion of Jumwa and Dori over gross misconduct.

In October, the MPs were summoned to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee after they openly declared their support for the DP.

They however ignored the summonses.

Jumwa is on record saying she will support DP Ruto as he is ready for the country’s top job irking the party leadership.

The National Governing Council is composed of the ODM League, National Executive Council, Youth League, the National Election Board and county coordinating committee officials.

Others are governors, deputy governors, assembly minority and majority leaders and the parliamentary group.
