President Uhuru Kenyatta has cancelled his Western tour to deal with Jubilee Party's nomination issues.
State House spokesperson Manoah Esipisu noted on Tuesday that parties have just this week to submit their lists to IEBC.
"The President wants nominees to focus on this important democratic process," he said in a statement to newsrooms.
"He is keen to ensure that all processes are fulfilled as required by guidelines provided for by the necessary institutions mandated to ensure a credible nominations process."
The President cancelled his two-day visit to
Tharaka Nithi and Meru counties to go to Western.
Esipisu said the tours to the two counties were
called off due to unavoidable circumstances.
Uhuru was to go to
Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Busia and Kakamega counties.
Western is believed to the political turf for the National Super Alliance party.
