What you need to know:

  • Mr Kega and Mr Keynan were on Friday “appointed” acting Secretary-General and vice-chairman, respectively, of the party headed by former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
  • The two leaders and others had indicated that their party will soon quit Azimio and join Kenya Kwanza
  • But Jubilee’s party’s Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni maintained that Jubilee was firmly in Azimio.

President William Ruto has insisted his Kenya Kwanza administration is keen to incorporate everyone, including his competitors, in uniting the country and rejected claims he is wrecking the opposition.

The President spoke yesterday during a prayer rally at the Nakuru Athletic Club in Nakuru, which was attended by some Jubilee MPs who have defied their party, which is in the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition.
