Hassan Omar on Monday launched a scathing attack on Kalonzo Musyoka days after he resigned as Wiper secretary general.
At a press conference at a Mombasa hotel, the former Mombasa Senator said Wiper’s leadership is weak, meek and unfocused.
“My party leader has Jubilee right in his bedroom. Jubilee members have been elected in Kitui…the elected are Jubilee. I urge people who were his allies to tread carefully.”
He noted Omar has not been keen on announcing the politician he backed in the Mombasa county chief race.
ODM’s hassan Joho defeated Omar in the race that former Nyali MP Hezron Awiti and Jubilee’s Suleiman Shahbal also took part in.
“You don’t know whether Kalonzo is supporting Joho or me…when he speaks from the airport, he is taken to the bedroom by people who oppose us. How foolish does he think we are?” he asked.
“Right now he is hanging on the ballot. I am not a fool…I know which party I need to join. How smart does he think he is? We leave it to God…I never told him anything.”
In a letter to the Wiper leader last week, the ex-legislator said he informed NASA before the election that he would not be a member if he lost.
“That was not rhetoric. It is still the case. As such it is unlikely that I will play any part in your October 17 presidential quest but nonetheless I wish you all the best.”
Omar resigned rom Wiper citing “deep rooted” reasons and his inability to carry on following his elections loss. He has changed his tune as he earlier thanked Kalonzo, who is NASA’s Deputy President candidate, for “unequivocal support, friendship and partnership” during his tenure.
