Yet another day of shambolic Jubilee elections

Chaos continued to mar the election of Jubilee Party (JP) county representatives for the third consecutive day, with aspirants claiming they were short-changed by the formulas used to pick officials.

This came even as a gubernatorial aspirant in Embu County quit, citing the botched nomination of interim officials. Kithinji Kiragu yesterday announced he was leaving the party, coming hot on the heels of a similar move by a nominated senator from Nakuru County, Paul Njoroge, who ditched JP for Kanu.
