Wanjigi defected to Safina party on Wednesday where he was received by the party leader and former presidential candidate Paul Muite.
Muite, a former Member of Parliament for Kabete Constituency and a senior lawyer, unveiled Wanjigi as the party’s presidential candidate in the August 9 General Election.
Wanjigi cut ties with ODM on February 26th after being roughed up by ODM supporters while trying to access Kasarani stadium for the party’s National Delegates Convention (NDC).
The Business man accused Odinga’s party of dictatorship terming the endorsement of the opposition leader as ODM’s presidential candidate as unfair.
Speaking after joining Safina party, Wanjigi said he would achieve all that he had planned in the Muite-led party.
“Our path for Democracy will not be stopped. Our Dream for the Economic Liberation of Kenyans is more alive than ever & we will achieve that in the Safina Party. The Ark has left the dock & our destination is the Presidency of this great Republic,” said Wanjigi.
He said he will be presenting his nomination papers for the top seat during the party’s NDC scheduled for March 21.
