Kanu has accused the Jubilee coalition of violating electoral laws by engaging civil servants in the Kericho senatorial by-election campaigns.

The party’s candidate Paul Sang and his campaign team have questioned the involvement of Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter in the campaigns for Jubilee candidate Aaron Cheruiyot, terming this a violation of the Constitution. The Constitution bars public servants from taking an active role in politics.
