Former Water Cabinet Secretary (CS) Sicily Kariuki has stepped down in the Nyandarua County Gubernatorial race.
Addressing the press at Jubilee headquarters on Thursday, April 28, Sicily stated that the decision was for the unity of the people of Nyandarua.
"After reflection, I have suspended my candidature to vie as the Governor of Nyandarua County. I will continue to support the Jubilee party and Azimio coalition and the candidates vying at the County, regional and national level," CS Kariuki stated.
She noted that she would support Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga in the August polls to ensure success.
Sicily will now back the incumbent Francis Kimemia who will defend his seat on a Jubilee party ticket.
