West Pokot Governor Simon Kachapin has criticised plans by Kanu to field a presidential candidate in the forthcoming general election.
This comes a few days after the party announced its plans to field candidates in all elective positions.
Kachapin, who ditched Kanu and joined Jubilee Party, called on the party leadership to stop wasting time and instead join the Jubilee bandwagon.
He said that the independence party has no one capable of vying for the top seat in the country.
Kachapin urged Kanu chairman Gideon Moi to come out clearly and declare the party’s stand on whether it is supporting Jubilee or the opposition.
“Gideon Moi himself cannot even get a single MP in his Baringo backyard. He has no support even from his home turf, how can he vie for the top seat in the country. The party has no chance of getting a presidential candidate at the moment,” he said.
He criticised party officials for failing to show leadership within the party, saying they promised to announce its political direction in two weeks time but has not done so.
