Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Peter Kenneth is now backing the use of Jubilee Party smart card in the April 21 primaries.
Kenneth, who is running against Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru, said that his only worry concerns credibility of the primaries.
“Whether we are using the IEBC register, or the party nomination cards, we are ready. All we want is to have a process that is credible so that the winners proceed, and the losers back the winners,” said the former Gatanga MP.
Kenneth, who vied for presidency in 2013, had opposed the use of the Sh20 smart card, saying it might disenfranchise the members.
He was speaking at the Presbyterian Church of East Africa in Marurui, Roysambu constituency, accompanied by area MP Waihenya Ndirangu.
“Kenneth is the man for the job,” Ndirangu said.
Kenneth argued he is suitable to take over from incumbent Governor Evans Kidero.
“I had a lot of faith in Dr Kidero, because he was said to be a good manager. But now we know he wasn’t. He has disappointed all of us in the last four years,” he said.
