Mbugua withdraws from Nakuru governor race, agrees to back JP’s Lee Kinyanjui

Nakuru Governor, Kinuthia Mbugua, has withdrawn from the county’s top seat race in favour of Jubilee nominee and former NTSA chairman, Lee Kinyanjui.

Governor Kinuthia, who was present during the meeting, was eyeing the seat as an independent candidate after he was defeated in the Jubilee Party primaries by Mr. Kinyanjui.
