Former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando has announced that he has joined Martha Karua’s Narc Kenya party. The ex-lawmaker stated that he arrived at the decision after a robust discussion between him, his campaign team, his financiers and supporters. He stated that he settled on the party because its ideologies are in tandem with his beliefs.

“The #KabandoCampaign in consultation with #Kabando4NyeriSenator supporters & well-wishers has settled for Narc Kenya party ticket. We reiterate our resolve for clean, decent, issues-based and non-violent Campaigns. Our focus is social justice, social democracy and war on graft,” Kabando tweeted.

Kabando, who is seeking to unseat Nyeri senator Ephraim Maina, recently ditched Paul Muite’s Safina party citing incompatibility of the party’s ideology with his political ambitions.

His move came after businessman Jimi Wanjigi joined Safina party from the ODM party. Wanjigi has since been nominated as Safina’s flagbearer in the presidential contest.
