By ELGAR MACHUKAMore by this AuthorBy NYABOGA KIAGEMore by this AuthorChris Obure is Jubilee Party governor nominee for Kisii County. Speaking to his supporters shortly after being announced winner, Mr Obure extended an olive branch to losers in the Jubilee Party primaries saying they need to work with winners for the sake of the party. 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.
