“The party has officially released its officials who were recently tapped by President William Ruto for national duty as Cabinet Secretaries.

“I can confirm that I have received the resignations of John Mbadi as national chairperson, Opiyo Wandayi as secretary for political affairs, Wycliffe Oparanya and Hassan Joho as deputy party leaders, and Beatrice Askul Moe as member of the party elections committee,” read a statement by secretary general Edwin Sifuna.
