President Uhuru Kenyatta will today campaign for the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) candidate in Kajiado Central constituency, raising the stakes for the by-election occasioned by his recent appointment to the Cabinet of ODM's Joseph Nkaissery.

The President's campaign visit follows one by his deputy William Ruto, who has toured the area twice in as many weeks, signalling the Jubilee government's resolve to capture the only parliamentary seat Raila Odinga's ODM won in Kajiado County.
