Three governors, two senators, seven MPs and more than 80 county assembly members have quit the Jubilee Party.

Musalia Mudavadi’s Amani National Congress (ANC) was the biggest beneficiary of the defections after a governor, a deputy governor, three MPs and 55 MCAs, many of whom come from the western region, moved to the party.

The move now elevates ANC to the majority party in the Vihiga County Assembly and a minority party in Lamu, Kakamega, Nandi and Meru counties.

Other counties affected in this new shake-up are Migori, Bungoma and Wajir.

Following the defection, ANC secretary-general Godfrey Otsosi said theirs is “now the party to watch”.

“It is politically significant that ANC is the major beneficiary of new political and legal developments,” he said.
