An example has been presented in the by -election of the North Mbeere MP, where all opposition parties agreed to release the DP party to approve its candidate.
This is because the former MP had been elected for the party’s ticket. As a unity show, all opposition outfits would be united behind the DP candidate.
The seat of the North Mbeere MP was left open following the appointment of Geoffrey Ruku in the Cabinet.
Ruku was the only DP candidate elected in parliament in the 2022 general election. The party is headed by former Attorney General Justin Muturiwho also comes from North Mbeere.
