In his new year message, Mwiti who was elected on an Alliance Party of Kenya (APK) maintained that he was in Jubilee Party to stay, saying that he will seek his re-election on the newly formed party.

"I am in Jubilee to stay. I was a member of the Bus party (APK) and was elected on its ticket. So when the Bus party parked, I became a trailblazer for Jubilee party," he said.

The legislator, however, noted that Kenya is a multi-party democracy, and there was nothing wrong with anyone joining a political party of his preference.

"Everyone should note that being in a party that another person does not belong to is not an offence. It is merely a clash of ideologies," he said.
