The tribunal has barred the former Secretary General of Rails Odinga’s ODM from holding himself or representing himself as a member of Labor Party of Kenya pending hearing and determination of the case filed by Zacchaeus Wangila Simiyu.
The Tribunal directed that the matter be served forthwith for inter-parties hearing on March 28.
According to Zaccheus Wangila Simiyu, a member of the party, Namwamba is not a member of LPK adding that his name does not even appear in the register of LPK.

“At no time has the respondent -Ababu Namwamba been a member of the LPK party and as far as this Tribunal is concerned, he is still a member of ODM,” Wangila said.
Earlier, the court heard that Namwamba was misleading the general public by misrepresenting to them that he is a member and leader of the party.

The petitioner claims that he is apprehensive that Namwamba shall continue misleading the public and enter into transactions or political bargains under the guise of being a member and a party leader of the LPK.
