Jubilee’s youth boss showers Mariga with blessings ahead of Kibra race

Jubilee’s Youth League President, Gideon Keter, has endorsed soccer star, McDonald Mariga, for the much hyped Kibra MP race.

Through a tweet, Keter has claimed that Mariga is just like any other youth in Kenya and if at all he declares his interest to contest under Jubilee’s ticket, then he has his full blessings.

Keter’s endorsement comes as Mariga is drawn at center of the Jubilee’s infighting. This follows IEBC action to return the letter which Mariga was listed among the five candidates to represent the party in Kibra race.

IEBC was compelled to return the letter after the Party disowned it terming it fake.

But the letter has been strongly defended by Ruto’s camp. Dennis Itumbi,who is a close associate of Ruto, has been sharing several tweets that confirm Mariga is a registered Jubilee member and that he was among the individual picked by the party to vie for Kibra MP seat.

This infighting in the Party has forced Ruto to intervene by blasting Standard Newspaper for propagating rumors meant injure Jubilee’s reputation and escalate the matter.
