The Friday April 22, primaries were cancelled by the secretariat.This followed several hitches witnessed in polling stations across 21 counties where the exercise was taking place.
Supporter Kurei Kariuki, a resident in Eldoret town, said: ''I want to let Raphael Tuju to know that people were angered after what happened Friday. It was a waste of time to many Kenyans but despite that, we have forgiven him. We will turn up in large numbers again.''
He however warned Tuju, saying they will not condone his apologies if what happened on Friday is repeated again.''If he fails again, we will not spare him because he will have showed that he is incompetent.''On his part, Samuel Risimba urged Jubilee party leaders to ensure all voting materials were in place and enough adding that all names of registered voters should be updated on the 2017 register to before the new nominations dates.''If what happened on Friday happens again on Tuesday, there is a possibility of Jubilee supporters loosing trust in Jubilee party and possible transfer to other parties,'' Samuel warned.
