Daïssala ran again for a parliamentary seat in the July 2007 parliamentary election , saying that he believed that a minister in the government should stand for election ; he also said that if the MDR ever obtained a parliamentary majority , it would immediately pass a law requiring ministers to stand as parliamentary candidates . However , the MDR failed to win any National Assembly seats in the 2007 election , and Daïssala was defeated in Mayo-Kani South constituency . The MDR list in Mayo-Kani South narrowly lost with 48.67 % of the vote against 51.33 % for the RDPC list . Although Daïssala said that he was willing to stay in the government despite his electoral defeat , he was excluded from the government that was appointed on September 7 , 2007 . In addition to the dwindling of the MDR 's support , another factor in Daïssala 's dismissal was thought to be his lackluster response to the crash of Kenya Airways Flight 507 at Douala in May 2007 ; he had been criticized for inactivity following the crash and failing to visit the crash site
