President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged former MP Peter Kenneth, who lost Jubilee party primaries for governor to abandon his bid and instead support Mike Sonko.
During a rally of Nairobi where the president drummed support for Jubilee candidates, Kenyatta said Jubilee is the winning team, and anyone who is not aboard risks being left out.
The President pointedly told Kenneth, who lost Jubilee party primaries for governor, that it was time to abandon his bid and support the winning team of Sonko-Igathe.
“I say to Peter, the people of Nairobi wanted Sonko. Let him get on with the job,” the President said.
President Kenyatta assured Nairobians that Jubilee had picked a team that understands their needs unlike the opposition, which has rundown the city.
“We know you have suffered under the current county leadership but we assure you that Sonko and his team will transform that,” President Kenyatta said.
The President’s meet-the-people tour of Nairobi comes hot on the of his campaign blitz in the Coast region where his message urging residents to elect all Jubilee candidates was warmly received.
During the tour, the President spoke strongly for Jubilee’s candidates in Nairobi, including Mike Mbuvi Sonko for Governor, Johnson Sakaja for Senator and Rachel Shebesh for Women’s Representative.
