The figures for the amount of money raised from nomination fees in the Jubilee Party camp have been released.
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ruling party has received Sh715.8 million from aspirants seeking various positions, ranging from MCA to governor.
The figure is the total of what aspirants for the positions paid. The fee for the presidential aspirant was not included in the tally.
Governors were to pay Sh500,000, senators Sh250,000, MPs Sh250,000, woman representatives Sh250,000 and MCAs Sh50,000.
The party has 106 governor aspirants, 161 for senator, 171 woman representative hopefuls, 1,006 for MP and 6,568 for ward representative.
Jubilee will not field candidates for five governor, two senator, and three woman representative positions.
JP executive director Winnie Guchu said on Thursday that the party had submitted the list of aspirants to the IEBC.
“Jubilee has submitted the list of all aspirants in the six positions. The positions are very competitive,” Guchu said.
The party primaries are scheduled for April 21.
