Kenya’s ruling party has shifted its focus to the Kiambaa constituency (central Kenya) by-election after a dismal performance in Juja and Bonchari parliamentary by-elections and Rurii mini poll.
The party on Saturday unveiled Kariri Njama as its candidate for the upcoming elections slated for July 15.
Jubilee settled on the businessman following an interview conducted at the party’s headquarters in Nairobi today (Saturday).
