The Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) has suffered an early political setback in Migwani Ward after several former aspirants defected to the National Liberal Party (NLP) and endorsed its candidate, Andrew Kaleli, ahead of the November 17 by-election.
The defectors were officially received by NLP Party Leader Augustus Kyalo Muli during a meeting in Migwani, where they pledged to rally their supporters behind Kaleli.
The former aspirants attributed their departure to frustrations over WPF’s nomination process, accusing individuals they described as party brokers of demanding money and undermining a fair selection process.
