Jubilee Party campaign rally in Meru, October 6, 2017. [Photo|Peter Munya]PNU party leader and former Meru Governor Peter Munya, will have to choose between pursuing his bid to retain his seat, or forgetting about it completely.He filed a petition in court, seeking to nullify election of Jubilee Party's incumbent Governor Kiraitu Murungi, on grounds that he stole election.Despite declaring his support for President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election, on October 26, fresh presidential election, after days of rivalry with Kiraitu, he said he would go on with the petition."Due to a lot of inquiries arising from misinformation, I wish to take this opportunity to inform our supporters that our petition is still on and our case is due for mention at the Meru High Court on Monday 2nd October, 2017 at 9:00 am," Munya said, September 28.
However, things could not be going well with him, after Kenyatta asked him to withdraw the petition, publicly, during his Jubilee campaign tour of Meru County, Friday.If he withdraws the petition, Uhuru promised to work with him at the national.Munya is however yet to respond to the calls by Uhuru.Murungi and his predecessor agreed to resolve their differences and work as a team to ensure President Kenyatta wins with a bigger margin.
