The Jubilee Party has announced it will not field a candidate in the Msambweni by-election.
The seat was left vacant following the death of ODM MP Suleiman Dori.
Jubilee said with its recent cooperation with ODM, it saw it fit not to field a candidate.
It also said the country faces serious issues currently following CJ David Maraga’s call for the dissolution of Parliament for failing to legislate laws to implement the gender rule.
“The country has very serious constitutional matters to deal with that will require sobriety and reaching across the political divides in order to navigate our beloved country across some of these challenges,” Tuju said.
He further added, “This announcement has been made in good time so that any aspirant who has interest in a Jubilee ticket still has other pathways to running for the seat.”
Residents will vote on December 15 after the initial by-election date was postponed due to the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic.
