At the tension packed meeting, the MPs failed to agree on the main agenda of the day and exposed Kamanda’s leadership deficiency.
In a chilly Nairobi, what was to be a routine endorsement of Eugene Ludovick Wamalwa as the sole JAP gubernatorial candidate was not only boycotted by Senators Sonko, Sakaja, MP Waweru all of whom are leading contenders for the JAP Nairobi ticket, a shocked Maina emerged from the meeting without an agreement and therefore no line up to announce to supporters waiting outside.
Unnamed sources further contend that by majority, Jubilee MPs present gravitated toward supporting Bishop Margaret Wanjiru as the candidate at one time demanding Maina Kamanda place a call to state house to “pass their message”. Eventually, despite generous offers of financial compensation, the MPs declined to endorse forcing a wide-eyed CS Wamalwa to either agree to be Bishop Wanjiru running mate or seek 2017 opportunities elsewhere. He was non committal.
