[Photo|PSCU]President Uhuru Kenyatta could suffer a blow, as he seeks to retain his seat in fresh presidential election, after Kenyans of the Turkana and Kalenjin community residing in Laikipia county threatened to withdraw their support for his Jubilee Party.Representatives of the two communities held a meeting in Nyahururu, where they claimed President Uhuru's party had given parliament nomination posts to 'one big' community in the region, ignoring the minority.Led by Kalenjin community branch chairman David Chesang, they said they had been discriminated in the county assembly nominations, and that five seats should have been shared equally."Three seats went to the Nyahururu municipality ward and two to Nanyuki. We want to tell Jubilee that if they want us to stay together, we must share resources. Kalenjins here are not happy," said Chesang, Thursday.
