Questions have been raised over the 61-member team that will steer Jubilee Party (JP) campaigns as it emerged that key Rift Valley counties were overlooked.

In the list that has the who-is-who in the JP political hierarchy, not a single politician from Nandi, Kericho, Uasin Gishu, Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet, the political bedrock of Deputy President William Ruto, was included in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s 2017 campaign secretariat.
