Chris Obure is Jubilee Party governor nominee for Kisii County. He appreciated the party supporters for voting peacefully and turning out in large numbers despite the short notice. Mr Obure will fight for the seat with incumbent Governor James Ongwae (ODM), Manson Nyamweya (KNC), Lumumba Nyaberi (Wiper) and Boniface Omboto (Maendeleo Chap Chap) in the General Election. Mr Obure decamped from ODM a year ago and joined the ruling party citing lack of development agenda in the opposition. However their opponents maintained that they would not accept the outcome of the primaries saying that the nominations were held without their knowledge.
