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.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
