I am announcing my defection from ANC to DAP-K where I will serve in the same capacity as deputy party leader. I have the blessings of my family and my constituents,” he said.
Savula further announced he would be contesting for the Kakamega governor seat on DAP-K ticket.
He said his defection was informed by activities in ANC, “which were leaning towards Deputy President William Ruto.”
“I am a neighbouir to Ruto in Karen Nairobi. The Deputy President is also my neighbor in his rural home in Sugoi. I know what is going on in his homes,” he said.
Savula said his pleas to ANC party leader Musalia Mudavdi to join Raila Odinga’s Azimio La Umoja have fallen on deaf ears.
“There is no doubt that Raila is forming the next government and that is why I was telling Musalia he should not remain in the cold,” he added.

Savula’s defection comes at a time Kenyans are expecting some eqrth moving announcement from Mudavadi.
There is however some growing expectations that Mudavadi could team up with Ruto.
