It total mess. Bomet nothing has happened - with confusion after aspirant met and agreed to posphone it. Totally embarrasing.I know for true what you write. But now read this story and appreciate why I call this paper The Ethnic Rag. They are swallowing Tuju's propaganda. Postponing primaries in Bomet and allowing them to go on in Narok and Kericho is a recipe for rigging. People will be transported from those areas to vote for whoever pays. The same for Nairobi vs Kiambu, Murang'a.
Tuju has fucked up Jubilee nomination.
NASA may actually win this.
Jubilee nominations for Bomet County will proceed as scheduled this Friday and have not been pushed to Tuesday next week, contrary to messages doing the rounds earlier Thursday.
According to Jubilee Party National Elections Board chairman Andrew Musangi, some aspirants had announced that the nominations in Bomet had been pushed to Tuesday, but he insisted that this was not the case.
“Adequate facilitation and materials have been provided. Ignore any message to the contrary,” Mr Musangi said Friday morning.
Bomet County is among 21 regions perceived to be Jubilee strongholds where the primaries are being held this Friday.
Other counties holding their primaries this Friday are Kirinyaga, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Meru, Uasin Gishu, Baringo, Laikipia, Murang’a, Tharaka-Nithi, Kiambu, Nyandarua, Embu and Kericho.
Also on the Friday list are West Pokot, Nandi, Nakuru, Nyeri, Kajiado, Narok, Trans Nzoia and Taita-Taveta.
In Nairobi, the Jubilee nominations will be held on Monday, April 24, while another 23 counties will hold theirs on Tuesday, April 25.

On Tuju: Welcome to the problem we had with Raila's blue eyed boys in 2013. Tuju has scammed aspirants with his smartcards, set up a group to collect rigging fees from candidates and when they were caught he "fired" them but continued as if it did not happen under his watch.
He is the best man NASA could ever have in that job. Oloo is a womanizer but he works diligently.
charles Keter has been executing rigging in south rift; that RK (nhif ceo who was suspended for 5b tasia scandal) is Charles Keter man.Politicians rig or attempt to rig elections. Its part of the game.
Keter is ruining in Kericho while Buzeki is wrecking in Nandi. The problem is that WSR is being blamed. Whether he is behind it or not, some of the aspirants who felt he was favoring their opponents have ganged up to spread the story that he is behind it all. and it seems to be working. Here is a tweet from a guy who is usually pro-Jubilee:

I think WSR should have listened to Biwott. Nick is a seasoned adviser who got his man to the presidency, ruled with him for 24 years before they retired. That is the measure of success. WSR should disown the Keters and others using his name.
Anyway I can't lie, it is good news for us in NASA. We just hope RV comes back home
It all over - Nandi - Uasin Gishu -Tranzoia - Baringo - Bomet and Kericho - people are totally disappointed. I mean last time URP - a small party - ran good nomination - of course chirchir was leading it. This time round with 800m plus - Tuju has totally messed it up. He says without battling his eyelids that printing 50% ballot papers is good enough coz turn out is always 50% - what fool.
POLICE SHOOT in the air after voters turn violent at Mau Summit Secondary School demanding postponement of Jubilee primaries in the area.

The quest by DP to have his compliant men under JP all over the country for 2022 battle seems can make even 2017 a tight contest. The fallouts will benefit likes of Rutto, Karua, Mutua and Munya all who are DP potential threats. This JP merger experiment could backfire. Despite IEBC insisting that party hopping they will have nothing once the fringe parties declare they had given those rigged out/dissatisfied by JP nominations certificates.
Once the 'lock in' effect that was the purpose of JP is broken this early, the knock on effects will be fluid and very volatile.
Had these been ODM/CORD/NASA events, long fingers with sharp nails would be already pointing at the NIS. But they are not, and they too are not. So, there are only three possibilities here: (a) the NIS types mistook these for ODM/NASA/CORD events, (b) some NIS types have gone rogue, and (c) NIS is an "equal opportunity" agency and ensures that its mischief is evenly spread. :DThe reasons why the NIS is not mentioned is simple: They cannot sabotage the elections of the party the are out to support.
