Kanu leaders have welcomed the move by the United Republican Party (URP) to dissolve to form a new jubilee political outfit that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, want to use for the 2017 elections.
Uhuru's party, The National Alliance (TNA) and Ruto's URP want to dissolve all units in the Jubilee merger and build an alternate party, Jubilee Party of Kenya (JPK), for the 2017 contest.
