Jubilee Party will field a candidate in the Kibra Constituency November 7 by-election.<\/p>\n
Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju on Monday said the decision was arrived at following consultations within the party leadership.<\/p>\n
“Our analysis and consultations confirm that our Jubilee Party is competitive enough in the forthcoming political contest,”<\/p>\n
“It is noteworthy that the neighbouring Lang’ata Constituency was won by Jubilee party candidate contrary to conventional political analysis,” Mr Tuju said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jubilee’s Nixon Korir won the Lang’ata seat in the August 8, 2017 General Election.<\/p>\n
Mr Tuju asked aspirants to apply for the ticket adding that the conditions and timelines will be in accordance with the dictates of the party National Elections Board (NEB).<\/p>\n
“We are therefore giving notice to our members who are interested in contesting the seat on a Jubilee party ticket to forward their applications to the National Elections Board. Details may be obtained from the party’s directorate of elections,” added Mr Tuju.<\/p>\n
Prior to Mr Tuju’s announcement, there were claims that the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led party would not field a candidate in favour of Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate in the spirit of the March 9, 2018 handshake.<\/p>\n
In April, ODM withdrew its candidate from the Wajir West Parliamentary race in favour of Jubilee.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Jubilee had also withdrawn its candidate in the Ugenya by election.<\/p>\n
