Jubilee Party members in West Pokot County have asked Kanu leaders to dissolve the party and join Jubilee.
Led by Governor Simon Kachapin, Pokot South MP David Pkosing and former Kapenguria MP Julius Murgor, they termed Kanu's move of backing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election as dishonest.
"They should swallow the humble pie and join Jubilee, which is the biggest party," Governor Simon Kachapin said.
They added that they read mischief in the deal that has come after the former ruling party dithered for a while before settling on Jubilee.
The leaders said Kanu is only planning for 2022 elections.
Further, they claimed that Kanu is only interested in pedaling on Jubilee's wave so that its candidates can win seats in the August elections.
Mr Kachapin demanded that Kanu supports Deputy President William Ruto's quest for the presidency in 2022.
"We told them but they refused. What we were telling them has now come to their senses.
"They are confused because you cannot say you support Uhuru and not his Deputy. This is immature politics, which has been overtaken by time," he said.
The county boss also disapproved of Chairman Gideon Moi, also Baringo senator, arguing that he lacks good leadership qualities.
