Wiper has tactfully precluded primaries for top positions in Kitui by issuing out direct tickets.
The party had communicated to the IEBC that it would hold its nominations on Thursday.
However, following negotiations and consensus building at the Wiper Party command centre, the party agreed to issue direct tickets for its most popular candidates except for a few MCA positions.
The decision by the party saw former Kitui governor Julius Malombe, Senator Enock Wambua and Woman Representative Irene Kasalu survive being subjected to the primaries.
Other who survived the nominations are Mwingi West MP Charles Nguna and Kitui East's Miltonic Kimanzi alias Kitute who recently defected from Narc.
Kitui Wiper primaries coordinator Waziri Bakari on Wednesday said two Kitui assembly top guns Stephen Musili from Kyuso and Boniface Kasina of Tseikuru will face nominations.
He said they are among 15 party hopefuls for ward positions who will face their competitors at the Thursday primaries.
Musili is the majority whip while Kasina is the chair of the budget committee.
Bakari said it is all system go and all voting materials and personnel will be in place on Thursday morning.
