"We did not interfere with the nominations. The people that Kiambu people decided on are the ones we should elect during the polls. "I did not bring them. It is you who chose them. I would want that you vote for the Jubilee candidates so that I have a team I can work with," the president affirmed.Kabogo was trounced by Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu in the Jubilee nominations to clinch the Jubilee ticket for Kiambu gubernatorial seat.After the nominations, Kabogo claimed that Jubilee nominations were interfered with and announced that he would vie as an independent candidate.
