Two top Ukambani politicians have declared their support for Jubilee presidential candidate, Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kitui gubernatorial hopeful David Musila and Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze have praised Uhuru and the Jubilee administration for “a job well done in its endevours to empower special groups.”
The two leaders had expressed anger after the Wiper party nominations and the naming of National Super Alliance (Nasa) flag bearer.
Musila accused Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka of being behind his failure in the primaries, and ultimately going independent for the Kitui governorship.
He also resigned as the Wiper Party chairman, a day after the nominations. He lost to Kitui Governor Julius Malombe.
Nyenze on his part expressed dissatisfaction after Kalonzo was named Raila’s running mate.
Nyenze accused ODM of being dishonest in the talks to name Nasa presidential candidate. He said Kalonzo had betrayed the Kamba nation.
The two leaders singled out Jubilee’s projects to empower the youth, women and the disabled and general development as outstanding. Musila, who fell out with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka recently, urged voters to elect Uhuru despite his party.
“I support Nyenze. Vote for me as an independent candidate, elect President Kenyatta without minding his Jubilee party,” said Musila, as quoted by The Standard.
He was speaking at Kauwi Primary School grounds, Kabati, in Nyenze’s constituency on Friday when Youth and Gender Affairs CS Sicily Kariuki launched National Youth Service programme.
“If someone is worthy, vote for him regardless of whether he is an independent candidates,” Nyenze said.
