A rival faction within Amani National Congress (ANC) has escalated its bid to dethrone party leader Musalia Mudavadi. Gathoni claims that Mudavadi’s term in office ended on Monday, June 15. Gathoni claims that ANC has not shown intention of holding elections even after the terms of its leaders expired. She further claims that both the National Executive Council (NEC) and National Elections Board (NEB) were illegally constituted, citing nepotism. Savula claimed the push to oust Mudavadi was being orchestrated by political figures keen to block Mudavadi from running for the presidency in 2022.
