Former Kenyan presidential candidate quits KNC party

Nairobi. Former presidential candidate Peter Kenneth has resigned from his Kenya National Congress party as he prepares to launch his bid for the Nairobi governor’s seat on a Jubilee Party ticket. Mr Kenneth dropped his presidential ambitions to support the re-election of President Kenyatta. He apparently sought the simplest way to stop the attacks from some Jubilee Party MPs, who last week gave him a two-week ultimatum to dissolve his Congress party. The former Gatanga MP wrote to the Registrar of Political Parties, Ms Lucy Ndung’u, last week, tendering his resignation as a member of the the party.
