Wiper Democratic Movement has expelled its Deputy Party Leader, Farah Maalim, over alleged violations of the party’s constitution and contentious remarks regarding the ongoing abductions. The decision, announced on Wednesday, January 15, was delivered by Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka during a press briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalonzo condemned Maalim’s comments, accusing him of undermining the party’s principles and the rights of Kenyans. “Farah Maalim, formerly serving as Wiper’s Deputy Party Leader, has been expelled for constitutional violations and disrespect toward Kenyan mothers,” Kalonzo declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on their history, Kalonzo remarked, “He was once a reformist, and I campaigned for him in Dadaab. This decision is difficult but necessary. The Constitution may require a written resignation for a position to be vacated, but his actions have eroded his authority.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent weeks, Maalim, the Dadaab MP, has publicly echoed President William Ruto\u2019s controversial calls for parents to ‘tame’ Gen-Zs. He has also stirred tensions within Wiper by asserting that Ruto will secure re-election in 2027, directly opposing the party’s stance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
