The technical team that met at Jubilee Party headquarters completed harmonising and synchronising nomination rules for the various political parties that are willing to join the merger. The new Jubilee Party will be a powerful political vehicle that will enable President Kenyatta to win the next elections with a landslide," the senator said. Members of Jubilee Party's steering committee met yesterday in Nairobi where a resolution was reached to unveil the new party in June after overcoming all the hurdles that delayed the formation of the party. Apart from President Kenyatta's The National Alliance and the William Ruto-led United Republican Party, other parties that have agreed to merge include Alliance Party of Kenya, United Democratic Front and Grand National Union.
