President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to host a Jubilee Party Parliamentary Group meeting for senators at State House, Nairobi on Monday.
In the invite to senators, President Kenyatta, who is the party leader, told the Jubilee members to be at State Hosue at 8.30 am on May 11.
“Mheshimiwa, I wish to invite you for a Jubilee Coalition, Senate Parliamentary Group Meeting at Statehouse Nairobi, tomorrow, Monday 11th May 2020, at 8.30am. Please be punctual,” said the message dispatched to Jubilee senators.
In the last years, two factions have emerged within Jubilee Party, Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga over 2022 succession politics.
One faction, Tanga Tanga, is affiliated with members who support the presidential candidacy of the Deputy President William Ruto in the 2022 General Election.
The other faction, Kieleweke, is allied to the President’s camp who wish the party members to focus on Kenyatta’s legacy projects, warning it is too early to delve into succession politics.
The tug of war between the two warring factions has roped the Jubilee Party officials, with accusations that some have taken sides.
