Candidates eyeing seats in the August polls on a Jubilee ticket have until 5pm today to submit their nomination documents. Last week on Tuesday, the party extended the deadline for submission of papers for those seeking positions of governor, senator, MP and MCA. We have heeded their pleas and extended the deadline,” Maina said. By late last month, more than 5,000 aspirants had paid the nomination fees ahead of the party primaries scheduled for April. The party last week rejected former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga’s nomination papers for the Laikipia senator seat.
