Renowned Jubilee party politician and Kiambaa constituency aspirant Kariri Njama seems to have been locked out of the Kiambaa constituency race, after the party issued out nomination certificate to his rival.
From photos shared from Jubilee party headquarters, politician Damaris Wambui was given the party's ticket to contest for the Kiambaa seat.
This was contrary to early reports that the party was going to front Kariri Njama to defend a seat he lost during the July 2021 by-election to UDA's John Njuguna Kawanjiku. Damaris Wambui was given the ticket by Jubilee Party Director of Elections Kanini Kega.

"Breaking News...Ready to go and collect the Jubilee party nomination certificate, our God is the living God" posted Kariri on Thursday, April 21 evening.
"Good morning Kiambaa...it is Today...let us meet there" he added on Friday morning.
