Aldas MP Adan Keynan, Mohamed Ibrahim Elmi of Tarbaj constituency and their Wajir East counterpart Abass Sheikh Mohamed, led the Degodia community from Wajir County, to the Jubilee Party saying they can longer continue being in the Opposition.
The three Members of Parliament who defected from Raila Odinga's ODM party, led a delegation to State House that included 15 Wajir County MCAs led by their speaker Bishar Omar.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto welcomed them, saying their decision to join the Jubilee party was informed by the development agenda being implemented by the Jubilee government throughout the country.
''It has been my desire all along to work with the people of Wajir for the sake of unity and stability in the region,'' Uhuru said, Monday.
He noted that the most important thing in development was unity and stability since where there is no unity and peace, there can be no development.
''We applaud Wajir County for resolving to join the Jubilee Party which is the winning team. Karibuni Jubilee! Tuko Pamoja!'' he added.
