The race to succeed the late Kabete MP George Muchai could be left for former Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu if the power play in the area is anything to go by.

The Standard has learnt members affiliated to Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) are trying to persuade other contestants to step down for Mr Waititu. The machination is to ensure Waititu becomes the first JAP MP after the newly formed outfit had a false start in the recently concluded Kajiado Central by-elections.
