Jubilee Party has rejected ODM’s win in the Wednesday by-election at Nyacheki ward, Kisii county.
Jubilee said they will challenge the declaration of ODM’s Naftal Nyaberi Onkoba as winner of the just concluded mini-poll.
Onkoba garnered 2216 votes beating Jubilee candidate Maxwell Nyaanga Magoma who got 1173 votes in provisional results declared by IEBC.
According to JP, most of its supporters were locked out of the 21 polling stations.
JP also alledges that the process was marred with chaos, and vote buying.
“On behalf of Jubilee Party, we wish to state that the Nyacheki Ward by-election exercise was marred by the blatant disregard of etiquette and civility of the electoral process,” Albert Nyaundi of Jubilee Party said in a statement.
“As a result, we are not conceding defeat in the by-election and will take the necessary legal action to have the results nullified,” he said.
“Jubilee is a party of peace and would like to take this opportunity to ask our political opponents to think about our beautiful country Kenya and stem the use of goons in electoral processes even as we are heading to a general election in a few months time,” Nyaundi said.
