Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has yet again suffered another loss after another ally from the Mt. Kenya region announced that he had decamped.
The former Igembe North MP Joseph M’Eruaki said he had left the UDA party whose symbol is a wheelbarrow and re-joined Mwangi Kiunjuri’s The Service Party of Kenya (TSP).
This comes barely weeks after Kirinyaga Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici left the party over claims of mistreatment and favouritism by top UDA leadership.
Ms Ngirichi, a staunch member and supporter of the UDA party until her defection, had also faulted UDA officials “for treating her badly” despite being one of the key founders and investors in party.
Mr M’Eruaki decamped from UDA on Wednesday, joining a growing list of politicians and aspirants leaving the DP Ruto-led party over disagreements on mergers between UDA and smaller parties.
The former MP, who has already declared his interest in reclaiming his former Igembe North seat, was officially received by TSP leader Mwangi Kiunjuri and Secretary-General Mwenda Makathimo.
The Igembe North seat is currently held by National Assembly Deputy Majority Whip Maoka Maore.
Mr M’eruaki had left TSP early November to join UDA, but bowed to pressure from his constituents, majority of whom are TSP supporters.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
