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.

#Mariga Is just like any other Kenyan youth. Should he want to throw his hat on stage on @JubileePartyK during the forthcoming Kibra by-elections, he has my blessing.

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.

@IEBCKenya received a letter, on Monday 26th August 2019 at 5pm, forwarding names of aspirants of Jubilee Party for the Kibra by election. However, it has come to the attention of the Commission that Jubilee Party has denied authoring the said letter and termed it as FAKE. ^EA

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

This letter that is making rounds within social media outlets is FAKE. Please note that any communication regarding the Kibra Constituency by-election will be done through the official Party organ. pic.twitter.com/EJGqomloDO

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.

For the record, contrary to the rumour being circulated by some people somewhere online, Macdonald Mariga is a Jubilee Party Member.

Forwarded from Jubilee:
"Your Jubilee Party Reference number is JP13941721"

Let them bring the next lie?#SystemYaFacts pic.twitter.com/1AeucJKhh9

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.

JUBILEE is under one leader Uhuru Kenyatta. The 'wars' are a figment of the fertile evil imaginations of the now notoriously desperate standard media's warped & venomous logic. pic.twitter.com/qFhDdHex1i
