Jubilee Partys Embu Governor, Woman Rep aspirants decamp to UDA

Jubilee Party candidate in the Embu gubernatorial race Emilio Kathuri has decamped to the Deputy President William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ahead of next week's General Election.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement on Friday, DP Ruto also said Mr. Kathuri had resolved to back UDA’s candidate in the race, Cecily Mbarire.

The DP further announced that, Susan Nyaga, the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led Jubilee Party candidate in the Woman Representative race, had also dropped her bid.

Ms. Nyaga will, similarly, be rooting for UDA’s Pamela Njoki.

“The Hustler Nation wave is real! Embu Jubilee governor candidate Emilio Kathuri has quit the race and now supports UDA’s Cecily Mbarire,” wrote the DP.

“Susan Nyaga (Jubilee) has also abandoned her quest for Women Rep seat in favour of Pamela Njoki.”
