According to the Star, Kivuvani further said the party will field candidates in all the elective posts on offer during the August 8 general election.

"We invite eligible Kenyans to present their expression of interests in confidence to the national election board," Kivuvani said in a paid advertisement.

Consequently, he has invited the youth, women and disabled to join Kanu and seek elective seats.

The announcement deals a big blow to both Jubilee Party and the opposition who were banking on the former ruling party to join them ahead of the elections.
