Kigumo Member of Parliament Jamleck Kamau has dismissed Murang'a Jubilee primaries results, that saw rival Mwangi Wa Iria win a ticket to run for governor on August 8.

Jamleck amassed 118,274 votes against Governor Wa Iria's 205,976 on Wednesday.

"Malpractices that were allowed by the presiding officers who had been compromised," the MP said on Friday.

"As a result of the electoral offences, the senate, woman representative and governor seat results had outrageous variations," he added.

The MP said that ballot papers marked with his name were found strewn in various places within the country, clearly indicating they had been removed from ballot boxes to ensure they were not counted.

"I hereby reject the nomination results for Murang'a as announced by Jubilee," he said.

Jamleck said he will not appeal to challenge the process, adding he had already complained to Jubilee party before the nominations "but was ignored".

"I am still consulting my supporters before deciding the next cause of action," the MP said.
