Nairobi gubernatorial hopeful Peter Kenneth has challenged his rivals within Jubilee Party to stop bickering and instead shift their focus to Nairobi governor Evans Kidero.
Speaking on Sunday shortly after attending a church service at the House of Grace church, Nairobi west, the former presidential candidate noted that Jubilee Party's only enemy is governor Kidero and not those aspiring to unseat the governor.
"Let us leave side shows, let us look at what has failed in Nairobi and a lot has failed. That is why we are saying the current regime of Kidero should leave," he said.
"The enmity is not within Jubilee, the enemy is outside there. I have been very clear on this that in Jubilee we can have a consensus or we can have the nominations and we are ready for both," he added.
He further stated that he had no personal differences with those seeking the Jubilee Party ticket alongside him, adding that he has worked cordially with each one of them before.
"I have worked with both bishop Wanjiru and Senator Sonko in Parliament before, so if we go the consensus route and it is agreed that is it. Ifnot we will go for nominations," he said.
Among those seeking to unseat governor Kidero through the Jubilee Party ticket include: Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko, former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru and former presidential candidate Peter Kenneth.
