Speaking to the press on Tuesday at Gatundu town, Kuria said that Kabete people have officially endorsed JAP as a vehicle to be used by President Uhuru Kenyatta in seeking re-election come 2017 general election.
“Kabete voters have done it in style, they have officially endorsed and accepted JAP as their party of choice,” said Kuria.
