[Emmanuel Too, Standard]Jubilee Party candidate for the Kiambaa by-election is still in the race despite reports emerging on social media on Wednesday evening that he had opted out of the race. In a statement on Wednesday, June 14, party secretary-general Raphael Tuju said the messages circulating on social media about the withdrawal of their candidate Kariri Njama were false. “It has come to our attention that a fake message is being circulated on social media platforms aimed at misinforming the public about the Kiambaa by-election,” said Tuju. Tuju said Njama was in the race and accused their opponents of resorting to propaganda and disinformation after sensing defeat. Speaking to the media on Wednesday evening, Kiambaa Returning Officer Peter Muigai said political parties’ super agents will not be allowed in the polling stations.
