Peter Kenneth has refused to concede defeat in the just concluded Jubilee Nairobi gubernatorial primaries where he was trounced by Senator Senator Mike Sonko.
Kenneth said he could not accept the verdict of the exercise which he termed as a sham.​
According to the results released by the prty's elections board, Kenneth was trounced after garnering a paltry

 62 

,504 votes against Sonko's 138,185 votes.Bishop Margaret Wanjiru came third with

 7 

,654 votes.
However, in a statement released on Saturday, Kenneth's side said he has already presented a formal appeal letter to the Party.
"Kenneth has not decided otherwise nor conceded defeat since the entire process was a fraudulent and we are waiting Jubilee party to take necessary Action," Team PK said.
"His position still stands at "nullify the just concluded Nairobi elections and redo a fresh one."
On Thursday, the former legislator had rejected the Nairobi governor results arguing that the exercise was not free and fair.
"I disassociate myself from the sham election that Jubilee Party purported to have and demand the same elections be nullified," he said.
