Three Cabinet Secretaries have urged Wajir residents to ditch ODM and support the ruling party at the August 8 election. The JP administration officials, who on Saturday visited Wajir West and South subcounties, urged residents to follow in the footsteps of their Mandera counterparts, whom they said voted overwhelmingly for President Uhuru Kenyatta at the March 4, 2013 election. Out of six Wajir MPs, only one was elected on the Jubilee ticket, something JP feels it has to overcome this time round. “President Uhuru Kenyatta has worked well with your Governor, Ahmed Abdullahi, and other leaders from this region without looking at party affiliation,” Water CS Eugene Wamalwa said. Kiunjuri praised Governor Abdullahi’s efforts to develop the county and urged him to join JP.
