President Uhuru Kenyatta has moved to quell the infighting between two camps fighting for Jubilee's gubernatorial ticket for Nairobi, warning that the vicious attacks by the leaders could cost the party the seat.
Uhuru told the Jubilee leaders who have in the recent days been tearing at each other in their fight for supremacy in the city politics that they both risked ending up losing if they divide the Jubilee's political base.

The President lashed at the two groups - one led by Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and comprising three other aspirants, Margaret Wanjiru, Dennis Waweru and Johnson Sakaja and the other one led by former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth and bringing together several city MPs – telling them that unless they united and presented only one candidate, they would lose the seat.
