Langata OCPD Mwanthi stated that the suspect had been detained.

A section of the NDC led by Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula convened the conference.

Following an order from the Political Parties and Disputes Tribunal, the Ford Kenya faction led by Tongaren MP Eseli Simiyu declared that their planned NDC meeting would be postponed. The tribunal halted two rival NDCs, one organized by Senator Moses Wetang'ula of Bungoma and the other by Eseli's wing.
Eseli claimed the order was placed online on Wednesday at 4 p.m., during a press conference held at a Nairobi hotel on Thursday.

"Arrangements for our meeting were in high gear. We had secured and paid for a venue. Though aggrieved by the decision, we will abide by the orders as we have previously done," he said.

The squabbles between the two factions had threatened to remove party leader Wetangu'la, who was on the verge of being overthrown.
Eseli had planned to hold his meeting on Saturday but shifted the date as part of a counter-Wetang'ula strategy.
