Dr Laboso beat her nemesis, former Konoin MP Julius Kones, in the hotly contested primaries to take the Jubilee flag after garnering 115,289 votes. Dr Kones garnered 72,546 votes while Bomet Deputy Governor Stephen Mutai came a distant third with 8,895 votes. "But now that I am running against other parties, I am confident I will win,” said Dr Laboso in an interview with NTV. It is up to Mr Ruto to sell his Nasa too,” said the confident MP. Basing her argument on voting patterns in the county, Ms Laboso said county residents would be reluctant to support a governor who is "number five" in the Nasa line-up.
