Taveta MP Naomi Shaban has cited frustrations and a plot to rig her out of the Jubilee Party as reasons that made quit the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led Party.
Speaking to the Standard newspaper, the legislator further maintained that she was firmly in politics, dismissing previous reports that she was contemplating quitting politics.
"I have quit Jubilee Party because of one reason; there is a plot to rig me out in the primaries. If you look at IEBC's list of aspirants there is a Naomi in the list. The name has been put there to confuse voters," she noted.
The legislator ditched Jubilee Party on Sunday, ahead of the party's primaries slated for April 21.
In a letter addressed to Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju, Shaban explained that she had quit the party due to "unavailable circumstances."
Her exit from the party has dealt President Kenyatta a huge blow, considering that she was one of the strongest Jubilee supporters from the Coastal region.
