Taveta Member of Parliament Naomi Shabaan has returned to the Jubilee Party.

This comes just two days after she announced she will not defend her parliamentary seat on a Jubilee ticket.

In a letter to Jubilee secretary general Raphael Tuju, Shaban said she quit the party due to "unavoidable circumstances".

"I wish to resign from Jubilee Party. I will no longer be vying for the Taita constituency seat under the JP umbrella," she said in the letter dated April 8.

The National Assembly Deputy Majority, however, did not indicate the party she will move to in her resignation letter.

Shabaan has been President Uhuru Kenyatta’s long-standing friend and women mobiliser at the Coast for the Jubilee Party.

She was elected as an MP on Uhuru’s The National Alliance (TNA) ticket in the 2013 general election.

Other aspirants interested in the Taveta MP seat on a Jubilee ticket are Naomi Ndisha and Mike Hamisi.
