Dr Mwiria was unveiled at the party headquarters in Nairobi yesterday as the contender for the governor's seat in Meru County. More defections are looming if the party headquarters continue to ignore two petitions filed after the sham elections," said Mr Murungi. The MP said he was waiting for party headquarters' reaction to a list of grievances before stating his political stand. But some Jubilee leaders described Mwiria's defection as a blessing for the party. Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi said the political arithmetic in the governor's race would be easier for Jubilee with Mwiria's exit.
