Wrangles among Jubilee Party (JP) aspirants in Embu have triggered political re-alignments likely to shape the August 8 vote. Politicians, especially those eyeing the coveted governor’s seat are decamping, complaining of unfairness in the party ahead of nominations.
Already, Senator Lenny Kivuti has ditched JP to join Maendeleo Chap Chap, while development management consultant Kithinji Kiragu, who came second in the last elections and former Permanent Secretary Cyrus Njiru have joined the Party of National Unity (PNU).
