Meru Governor Peter Munya yesterday stormed out of a meeting presided over by Deputy President William Ruto.

In a rare show of defiance, Mr Munya told Ruto and Meru Senator Kiraitu to their faces that he would not join the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP). The governor was infuriated after local leaders urged him to join the party.
