Nominated MP Johnstone Sakaja has called on former Gichugu lawmaker Martha Karua and her Gatanga counterpart Peter Kenneth to fold up their parties and merge with the Jubilee party.
Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Sunday, the Nairobi County governor hopeful welcomed their support for President Uhuru 2017 re-election but called on them to dissolve their parties as Jubilee itself is a party and not a coalition.
''What I can tell them is welcome to Jubilee but Jubilee is a party and not a coalition so kindly dissolve your parties,'' stated Sakaja.
The 2013 presidential apsirants have pledged their support for Uhuru's re-election but have remained hesitant to dissolve their parties.
Karua party leader said despite supporting President Kenyatta, she will vie for the Kirinyaga County governorship on her Narc-Kenya party ticket and her supporters have the liberty of electing her on the Narc-K ticket and supporting Uhuru on a Jubilee ticket.
''My people know where they will put their votes,it is okay to vote me for Governor on a Nark Kenya ticket and support President Uhuru on a Jubilee party ticket," Karua said on Thursday last week.
Kenneth, on the other hand, has resigned from his former party, the Kenya National Congress, to join the Jubilee as he targets to vie for an undisclosed county gubernatorial seat, whose county he is yet to declare.
Kenneth earlier said that it is not a must for him to fold up the party and join Jubilee as he can simply resign from the previous one as he has done.
''Let nobody go around saying that one must fold up their party to join Jubilee, you can easily resign as a member of the party as I have done,'' he said.
Sakaja, has however, challenged them to prove their support for the president by dissolving their parties saying that that is the only way to prove that they really believe in the vision of President Uhuru and the Jubilee Party.
''If Karua and Kenneth believe in the visions of the President and the Jubilee party,then they should not have separate parties,'' he said.
