Ruto acknowledged Mariam adding that if she asks for his help in contesting for the position he will be willing to support her. Nairobi senator Johnstone Sakaja told the Star that not fielding a candidate is not in the interest of Jubilee party. "Now that the party has no candidate, members are free to support the candidate of their choice. The President won’t campaign for any candidate," he said. Sakaja said that if the intention was to support the ODM candidate then Jubilee would have given that candidate the ticket.
