“Leadership comes from God,”Rebellious ODM MP tells off Raila

Msambweni MP Suleiman Dori has said he is not afraid of possible expulsion from ODM adding that he is confident to win the seat back if subjected to a by-election.

Dori said he is unapologetic in his decision to support DP William Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.

ODM’s National Executive Council on Thursday adopted the disciplinary committee’s recommendation to expel Dori and Aisha Jumwa (Malindi) for backing Ruto (Jubilee).

Both legislatures have been dewhipped from all parliamentary committees.

“Leadership comes from God and it is only him who can decide if I will still be re-elected. How many people were in ODM during campaigns but still lost the election?” Dori said on Saturday.

He was speaking at Nyumba Mbovu during a fundraising drive to aid Kinondo ward women group.

The embattled MP said he welcomes any decision to be made by ODM’s National Governing Council tasked for the ratification process.

Ali Mwangauri, a staunch supporter of Dori vowed to back up the legislator come what may.

“We are with Dori until death do us apart!” he said adding that they will drop ODM if they are forced to do so.

This comes amid reactions by supporters allied to Omar Boga who is Dori’s rival, pushing NGC for ratification of the resolutions passed by NEC.
