Senator Moses Wetangula is defending his Bungoma seat. The President also understood that the Wiper party was putting up the name of former Vice President Musyoka for senatorial nomination.
"They know they are losing. Some know they have been offered non-existent jobs. That's why they are running for these seats," President Kenyatta told hundreds in Kamukuywa residents during a stop in his Bungoma County campaign swing.
He reiterated that Jubilee will win the coming elections while its opponents will remain a loyal opposition.
President Kenyatta pointed out that he and Deputy President William Ruto won in the last General Elections even when they faced International Criminal Court cases when Mr Raila Odinga and Mr Musyoka were Prime Minister and Vice President respectively.
“Our opponents will remain where they are as loyal opposition while Jubilee will continue to govern and transform the lives of Kenyans,” President Kenyatta said.
President Kenyatta spoke on Sunday as he pitched for his re-election in Bungoma County when he made several stops to address residents after attending a church service at St Teresas of Avillah Naitiri Catholic Parish.
