"It's Mary Wambui " TNA told

The nullification of Mary Wambui’s seat as a Member of Parliament in the Othaya Constituency, may have just drawn yet another battle line between the Former Presidents’ wife and business lady Mary Wambui and top country’s politicians among them president Uhuru Kenyatta and Retired President Kibaki who has a stake in the Constituency which he served in. 

The nullification of the seat, that has been seen as an ill motive to deny Wambui her constitutional right has however been countered by several leaders allied to the rulling Jubilee coalition and TNA party who have vowed to ensure she retains her seat. The battle that started long ago before the elections saw her opponents cry foul about the academic credentials of the business lady, a plot that failed.

Even as the constituency prepares for yet another by-election, the Nyeri county Members of Assembly have showed their support for Mary Wambui and have stated that they are going to campaighn on her behalf and to ensure she retains the seat. Speaking on Saturday, the MCAs led by majority leader Mwangi Kibuu noted that Wambui had initiated many projects in Othaya and had also helped many people from the area and so she deserves the seat.

Meanwhile, Wamagana county rep, Jesee Mwangi urged the TNA party to issue a direct nomination certificate to Mary Wambui to defend her seat and continue with the good work she had began. He assured the party that they were ready to offer any support to ensure Mary Wambui retains her seat. The MCAs also threw their weight behind TNA party national chairman, Johnson Sakaja and Secretary General, Onyango Oloo. They noted that the leaders had conducted the party primaries well and had all the reasons to retain their seats.
