One Senator and five Members of Parliament previously allied to Cord on Thursday defected to the new Jubilee Party ahead of its unveiling on Saturday.
Turkana Senator John Munyes, MPs Nicholas Ngikor (Turkana East) and his Loima counterpart Protus Akuja officially ditched Moses Wetangula’s Ford Kenya to join the new party.
The trio was received to the new party by Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka at the Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi during the dissolution of New Ford Kenya to join the new party.
Also defecting to the new party were Sirisia MP John Waluke, his Mathare counterpart Stephen Kariuki and Nominated MP Isaac Mwaura from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
