Political party primaries began two weeks ago in preparation for the coming August 8 General Election and they have been anything but orderly and peaceful. Gallantly, President Kenyatta apologised to the Jubilee Party aspirants and followers for the fiasco.

This puts Jubilee Party, which had pushed the Nairobi nominations to April 26, in a tight corner.
