Kajiado Central Member of Parliament Elijah Memusi Kanchory has dared the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) to expel him over his association with President William Ruto.
Speaking on Tuesday, September 12, Kanchory said he is ready to go back to the electorate if he is expelled from the party.
"If a letter is written bring it, if you want us to return to the citizens, we will return. There is no ballot carried in a basket; the votes are with the citizens, and we will go and seek them from the citizens,” said Memusi.
The ODM MP went ahead to slam the opposition party for not giving him any leadership role in the National Assembly despite being in his third term.
"I am a member of parliament, and I have been elected for the third time now under the ODM party. During all this time, I haven't received anything from the ODM party in terms of leadership in parliament. How can I not even lead a single parliamentary committee? Right now, we are assessing who wants to be our friends and who wants us to march with them. We are saying this loudly and clearly during the day,” he added.

His remarks come days after ODM expelled MPs; Phelix Odiwuor (Langata), Caroli Omondi (Suba South), Gideon Ochanda( Bondo), Elisha Odhiambo ( Gem), and Kisumu senator Prof Tom Ojienda over declaring allegiance with President Ruto.
The party also fined Uriri MP Mark Nyamita and Rongo MP Paul Abuor Ksh1 million over the same accusations.
Nairobi Women Rep Esther Passaris was fined Ksh 250,000 over supporting the Finance Bill 2023 at the National Assembly.
