Politics on who will become officials of the Jubilee Party, Nakuru County have taken the social media by storm.
Several lists with names of party interim officials are in circulation through WhatsApp, twitter and Facebook pages.
The distribution of the lists seems to be a well calculated move by political brokers to angle themselves ahead of the party’s launch in March.
Samson Kiptum, a political analyst in the county, terms the lists as a mechanism by the brokers to brainwash the public and win their hearts so that come March, the same names will be proposed to be interim leaders, and if the party decides to conduct elections, the same names will have an upper hand.
‘’It’s more of ‘advertising’ and trying to prove that a particular list has been endorsed by majority of Nakuru residents. The only thing those circulating the lists didn’t see coming is formation of other lists from other interested parties with different names. There are now so many circulated in social media,’’ added Kiptum.
Considering that Nakuru is one of the strongholds for Jubilee Party, an appointment as official within the party is seen as key and a huge step in the political arena.
