Professor George Wajackoyah’s Roots Party of Kenya has appointed Vinod Ramji as the Deputy Party Leader to replace Justina Wamae.
Vinod’s appointment follows the party leaders fallout with Wamae.
In addition, the party also appointed Naran Velji Arjan as CEO and Janet Akinyi Odhiambo as Deputy National Chairperson.
Moreover, the appointments follow a resolution made by the Roots Party National Executive Committee in a meeting held at party head office in Karen.
Nonetheless, the fallout between Wajackoyah and his running mate Wamae started after elections when they accused each other of disregarding party rules.
Wamae accused her party leader and boss of being a mole for Azimio la Umoja outfit.
Furthermore, the issue worsened after she was summoned to appear before a disciplinary committee to answer to the accusations of damaging the party’s image.
