Jubilee has been thrown into a spin after the IEBC rejected its request to conduct party primaries, sparking fears that nominations would be bungled. President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy Presidnet William Ruto had said they would involve the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission in party nominations to ensure the process is free, fair and transparent. Despite the reassurance, IEBC’s refusal has sparked off confusion in the party, forcing the Jubilee secretariat to enter the fray in a bid to boost confidence among aspirants. Jubilee now wants the IEBC to oversee only primaries for governors, senators and woman representatives. This means the IEBC will oversee and supervise the party’s nominations for governors, senators and woman representatives.
