President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election received a major boost on Saturday after being endorsed by Independent candidates.
The endorsement was made official during a meeting by nomination losers held at the Kasarani Gymnasium.
The meeting was held to spell out their agenda as well as address their common challenges.
The over 4,500 candidates, who have since formed an association, endorsed President Kenyatta as their presidential candidate and adopted a memorandum to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on safeguarding their constitutional rights among other issues.
President Uhuru Kenyatta was invited to the meeting back he failed to show up as he in Isiolo for a campaign rally.
