Members of Parliament affiliated to the ruling Jubilee coalition have agreed to support a Bill barring party hopping.
This comes after the MPs and a section of senators from the coalition met Deputy President William Ruto at his official residence in Karen to discuss the report of the joint committee on IEBC chaired by Senators James Orengo and Kiraitu Murungi.
"We have discussed the issue of party hopping. It is the intention of the President (Uhuru Kenyatta) and his deputy that we have one party that unites all of us all," said Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi.
“The issue of party-hopping will destroy all that. MPs have been requested to support this Bill to stop party hopping," he added.
The group also agreed that the party nominations be conducted on the same day by IEBC.
