Former Langata constituency aspirant for Member of Parliament Jacob Jobby Dundos has announced that he will not be on the ballot this year and instead thrown his weight behind the Langata ODM candidate Phelix Odiwuor also known as Jalan’go.
“I will not be on the ballot, but through this brother (Jalan’go), I will ensure your views are heard. We will help craft the policies we have so desired and I will be bringing him round to hear you out before we send him to the August house. Let us hold his hand. #MbelePamoja #Langata1 #AzimioCandidate.” said Jobby on his social media handle.
Jobby made his debut for Langata in 2013 but lost the ODM nominations to Joshua Olum. He thereafter contested the seat under Wiper Democratic Movement.
