Former Vice President Musalia Mudavadi's ANC party is bleeding.
Barely a week after he declared his willingness to work with Deputy President William Ruto, Mudavadi has suffered blow after blow after several MPs announced their defection to ODM leader Raila Odinga's camp.
The latest MPs to make entry to Raila's Azimio are Raila Lurambi MP Bishop Titus Khamala, Matungu MP Peter Nabulindo and Butere MP Tindi Mwale.
The three leaders met ODM leader Raila on Thursday night in what is emerging as an apparent defection to Azimio La Umoja movement.

The leaders were in the company of Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe. Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka was also present.
According to Aseka, the meeting was to officially welcome the leaders to Raila's camp.
"I was delighted to join Kakamega woman Rep Elsie Muhanda and Cotu SG Atwoli in welcoming Titus Khamala and Tindi Mwale to Azimio la Umoja," Aseka said on a Facebook post after the meeting.
On Sunday, Kwisero Mp Aseka decamped from Mudavadi's ANC to Raila Odinga's Azimio la Umoja.
"Almost all elected leaders in Kakamega are in Azimio," Aseka said.
The new developments deal a blow to Musalia as he seemingly moves to DP Ruto's camp with a few MPs who will have to take a huge responsibility of negotiating a significant deal with Ruto.
Mudavadi on Sunday said he will not work with Raila citing betrayal.
