Makadara Member of Parliament aspirant Mark Ndung’u has faulted the plans by some members of the party for trying to force unwanted politics in Nairobi.
Ndung’u, who is the current Hamza Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA), but seeking to take over the Makadara MP seat on Jubilee Party ticket, voters should be allowed to freely elect their next MP.
Speaking on Thursday during a press conference, where he was accompanied by members of Jubilee women league and youth groups, Ndung’u said that they will not allow a few members to destroy good name of the Jubilee Party.
“The will of the people must be respected, we should not impose a person on voters. As a party we have well structured way of communicating.” he said.
Ndung’u claimed that there is a scheme by the incumbent MPs and high-ranking individuals within the Jubilee and other political parties to lock out other candidates.
He claimed that he is a Jubilee member and Jubilee party is his business.
“They know that the ground is not favouring them anymore, so they are seeking solace through fake political gimmicks, yet they stand no chance to win,” Ndung’u said
He is blaming his woes on Chief Administrative Secretary, Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs, and Special Programmes Rachael Shebesh and ODM Secretary Edwin Sifuna.
“Shebesh is a mole who is ruining Jubilee from within in favor of our opponents from UDA and for you Edwin Sifuna please look for your votes and leave us alone,” he said.
Shebesh and Sifuna had on Wednesday asked Makadara voters to vote for incumbent George Aladwa as the official coalition’s candidate.
Elderly Rachel Mwati, a Jubilee party diehard said that Ndung’u is their preferred candidate.
Ndung’u’s track record is clear, she said.
“Let people decide, we have seen what our leader has done as an MCA,” she said
Another voter Elizabeth Mwangi said that leaders should not mix politics and development.
She said people should not be threatened when it comes to electing people of our choice.
“We have sober minds, we should not be forced to elect people who are not of our choice,” She said
Ndung’u claimed that ongoing wrangles and political disturbances are not good for leaders with vision and mission to serve the people.
“We should reason well as leaders and we should not at all allow divisive politics,” Ndung’u said
