He said people who had earlier joined UDA and other parties have started changing rejoining Jubilee following the spirited campaigns that have been mounted by the party.
He said the youths have seen the light after their rivals lies were debunked by President Uhuru Kenyatta during his Sagana III meeting in Nyeri.
Kamanga spoke at Annabelle Hotel in Nyeri town during a consultative meeting with over 50 Jubilee aspirants vying for various seats.
Kamanga said the caucus was formed after the party’s NDC to market Jubilee in the county.

He said the party has already informed residents that its nomination will be a fair and credible.
