Democratic Party will not join Jubilee ahead of poll, says official

The Democratic Party (DP) has denied claims it intends to fold up shop and join Jubilee Party (JP) ahead of the 2017 General Election.

The party yesterday denied a statement by JP Steering Committee co-chairperson Noah Wekesa that it was among seven parties that had agreed to dissolve.

DP National Organising Secretary Njagi Kumantha said the party would support the President and his deputy in 2017 but field candidates for all the other positions.
