Jubilee candidates for Matungu and Kabuchai parliamentary by-elections are crying foul over the party s last-minute decision not to field candidates.
Last week, Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju announced that the party would let Amani National Congress (ANC) and Ford Kenya field candidates in Matungu, Kabuchai and Machakos senatorial seat in the spirit of the handshake.
Tuju said the vacant parliamentary seats were previously held by Ford Kenya and ANC, parties that are friendly to the ruling party.
