Gloves-off as Uhuru Allies Split over the move to kick out Ruto from Jubilee

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies have been divided over the decision to remove Deputy President William Ruto from Jubilee Party. A section of Uhuru’s insiders are of the view that Ruto should be removed from Jubilee leadership, while another group sees the move will hurt the president’s reputation.
According to the Standard Digital, those who are against the removal of the deputy president are of the opinion that Uhuru will not be able to effectively fight future political battles if the DP is removed. 
The plot to dethrone the DP from the party leadership has dragged for some time, since last October, due to divergent opinions.
Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju and Vice Chairman David Murathe confirmed to the media that a National Management Committee (NMC) meeting was scheduled to be held on Monday. However, Tuju declined to share the details of the meeting’s agenda.
“We have a National Management Committee meeting tomorrow, but I can neither confirm nor deny if Ruto’s removal will be the agenda. I cannot talk of an agenda before it is adopted by the meeting,” Tuju told the media on Sunday.
But Murathe confirmed that the meeting was meant to kick-start the process to fire Ruto as the deputy party leader. 
“Jubilee NMC will meet tomorrow at 11am to recap recommendations of ejection of the deputy party leader as we await the NEC convention by the party leader,” Murathe stated.
The purge against the deputy president will be a culmination of his fall-out with Uhuru. This is after Ruto’s allies were removed from influential House positions and replaced with pro-handshake members.

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State.
