The youth wing of the Jubilee Party has dismissed Cord leader Raila Odinga's assertions that Narok county in an opposition zone.
URP national youth coordinator Kasaine Partoip and Narok youth leader Mercy Chepkemoi said the region is a Jubilee zone.
They said ODM is not popular in the county as claimed by Raila, adding that Jubilee has offered more youths chances to bid for elective seats without fear of being shortchanged at the nominations.
"It is in the Jubilee Party that youth for the first time will have the liberty to go for any seat from governor, senator, MP and MCA without fear of being rigged," Partoip said.
Partoip said they have confidence in the assurance by President Uhuru Kenyatta that the nominations will be done by IEBC, therefore free of manipulation.
