Independent candidates allied to Jubilee party have received a major boost following a declaration by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
During a campaign rally on Saturday in Meru, the head of state affirmed hat he has no problem with independent candidates from the Central region.
" Those we are competing with I have no problem with them. My heart has no hate for them because hatred cannot take me anywhere. As the Jubilee party leader as I ask for your votes and on behalf of those seeking various positions I want to let you know have no problem with them because they are also our people. It is only you the Meru people who will decide".
He, however, said that he will only campaign for himself and not independent candidates.
