NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 11 – Nakuru County Assembly members from the former ruling party Jubilee have pledged loyalty to President William Ruto who hosted them at State House.
The meeting signals the renewal of wrangles in the party that was split into two following disagreements soon after the August 2022 elections.
On Thursday, Nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege led 120 of them to a meeting with President William Ruto who appears keen to court them into his fold.
The meeting was also attended by the party’s 28 members of the National Executive Council.
Jubilee party has been faced with leadership wrangles for months now as two groups claim to be bona fide officials of the party.
One group led by Jeremiah Kioni has remained loyal to Raila Odinga-led Azimio la Umoja coalition while the other by Kanini Kega shifted allegiance to President Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza coalition.
