Angry Kericho residents led by former Kipkelion Councillor Richard Bii have told Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) leaders, President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto that they would reject the party's candidate for the Kericho senatorial seat, Aaron Cheruiyot.

In what they termed "Siret declaration", the group vowed that they would instead troop behind Kanu candidate Paul Sang in the March 7 by-election.
