The Jubilee Party has opted out of the Migori Senatorial by-election scheduled for October 8, 2018.
According to Jubilee Party secretary-general Raphael Tuju, the move was geared towards supporting the building bridges initiatives.
“The National Management Committee unanimously decided that the party will not field a candidate during the forthcoming senatorial by-election in Migori,” said Tuju.
Speaking on Sunday, Tuju said Jubilee will adopt the similar mode used in the Kitui by election.
“This is in keeping with a similar decision we had made with respect to the Kitui-West by-election and it also supports the building bridges initiative," said Tuju.
The seat fell vacant following the death of Senator Ben Oluoch who succumbed to throat cancer on the 19th of June at the MP Shah Hospital in Nairobi.
