According to Daily Nation, Poghisio will now team up with the incumbent Senator John Lanyangapuo who has cast his sight on the county governorship seat.

“We have to listen to our people who have told us to stay in Kanu,” said the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority chairman Samuel Poghisio as quoted by Daily Nation.

He said he joined the former ruling party after his United Republican Party, led by DP Ruto, dissolved to join the newly launched Jubilee Party.
