Wetangula slams Mudavadi as NASA wrangles continue


- Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula has asked for calm among his supporters following reports that the NASA's presidential line up is out
- Wetangula also condemned supporters of Musalia Mudavadi for creating unnecessary tension in the coalition
The wrangles within NASA continue unabated with the latest reaction coming from Ford Kenya, one of the affiliate parties.
The sharp division has seen the various leaders and their parties make strong pronouncements against each other creating a notion that the coalition is on the brink of collapsing.
Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula have been pushing and shoving over who among them will be the NASA flag bearer.

ODM has confirmed that a leaked line up showing Raila as the presidential candidate, Kalonzo as his running mate, Mudavadi as the Chief Minister and Wetangula the National Assembly speaker was real.
"Some members of ODM have gone ahead to qualify these reports in recent days as ‘true’ and perhaps ‘final’. As Ford Kenya, we would to make it clear that the decision on who flies the Coalition’s flag has not been made just yet," said Wetangula through his party's Director of Communications Tim Machi.
In a statement seen by TUKO.co.ke, Wetangula said that the decision on who flies the NASA flag is still work in progress and one over which the four principals will be holding a critical retreat very soon.

Until that is done, what has been leaked out are just scenarios and suggestions of different names on the Coalition’s Presidential ticket, said the Bungoma Senator on Tuesday April 11.
He also slammed Mudavadi supporters who have insisted that the ANC leader must be given the NASA ticket.
" We particularly take issue with supporters of Hon Musalia Mudavadi who over the weekend issued demands that it is either him flying the NASA flag or none. We caution such supporters that they are unwittingly lurching onto sinister narratives hatched by enemies of the Coalition," added the Ford Kenya leader.
