Jubilee Party has officially invited applications from aspirants seeking its ticket in the upcoming Kibra by-election.
Making the announcement, the party’s secretary-general Raphael Tuju noted that the nominations will be handled by the elections board.
This declaration is made a day after Jubilee Party distanced itself from a letter listing Kibra MP candidates.

On Monday, Tuju announced that the ruling party would indeed field a candidate in the area.
“Following consultations within the Party Leadership with respect to Kibra Constituency, we would like to communicate to our membership that the Jubilee Party will be fielding a candidate in the forthcoming Kibra Constituency by-election,” he said.
The seat fell vacant after the passing of Ken Okoth in July.
ODM has already forwarded nine candidates to the IEBC for their nomination.
