“A party is not entitled to funding if they do not have elected members. The hostility besides the project was that mizizi will benefit from the fund. I have voluntarily resigned. They can now eat hot air. Watch this space,” Wamae tweeted.
The registrar of political parties has confirmed receipt of her resignation and she is now not a member of any political party.
“This Office acknowledges receipt of your letter dated 22 September 2022 on the above subject matter and duly notes the content therein,” stated Ann Nderitu.
