Seth Panyako, Vice Chairperson of the embattled United Democratic Alliance (UDA), has stated that President William Ruto told him to leave the ruling political party.
This comes after Panyako resigned from the party on Saturday, citing the Kenya Kwanza government's failure to keep pledges made to Kenyans during the campaign time.
In a news conference on Tuesday, Panyako claimed that his departure from the party was imposed on him by the top brass and that how it was handled violated both party rules and the law.
He said he should have been summoned by the party's disciplinary committee, which should have outlined his infractions before enabling him to explain himself and make a judgment.

He also dismissed a Saturday social media post by UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala that claimed he was never even a party official following his statement.
Seth said that he would write to the Registrar of Political Parties tomorrow to request an extract outlining the new leadership of the UDA, and then he will write to confirm his resignation.
"In Kenya, we have yellow political parties with no institutional systems." When the party's owner dislikes you, he can kick you out." he added
Panyako also denied allegations that he quit the party after being passed over for Cabinet jobs saying that he resigned to uphold his life principles.
