CORD coalition is now planning to support Labour Party of Kenya’s Jane Kitundu as a Plan B, if the High Court upholds the IEBC Dispute Tribunal’s decision of barring Kethi Kilonzo from vying in the Makueni Senate seat. This was revealed by Makueni MP, Daniel Maanzo, who said there are many options available for Wiper and CORD if Kethi Kilonzo is barred from vying. However, Maanzo said Wiper will pull all stops to ensure IEBC’s verdict is overturned before thinking of alternatives. He said the party together with Kethi will take the battle to the High Court. The lawmaker however admitted that Kitundu is one of their own. “Of course she’s CORD; Labour is under CORD ….. but we do not to harp on that theme yet because our candidate of choice remains Kethi Kilonzo and we are sure High Court will nullify the IEBC’s decision,” Maanzo said. Kitundu ran for the Makueni Women Representative under the same LPK ticket in the March 4 th poll but lost to Rose Museo of Wiper. Sources said that a meeting has been arranged between LPK leader Prof Julia Ojiambo, Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka, ODM’S Raila Odinga and Kethi to seal the deal.
