On June 17, 2020, Jubilee Party signed cooperation agreements with Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Party and Isaac Ruto's Chama Cha Mashinani at the Jubilee Headquarters in Nairobi.
The agreements, signed by Mutula Kilonzo Jr and Zedekiah Bundotich, the Secretary Generals of Wiper and CCM respectively, were witnessed by Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju and Vice Chairperson David Murathe.
According to Murathe, the pact is anchored on unity and will see the three parties collaborate until the run-up to the 2022 General Elections.
Speaking after the signing, Kalonzo Musyoka said the cooperation pact with Jubilee Party is aimed at supporting the government's agenda.
He emphasized that Wiper continues as a member party of the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition, adding that consultations are ongoing on Wiper Party's coalition agreement with Jubilee.
Isaac Ruto of CCM stated that the agreement is meant to bring political parties together for the good of the country, and that working together does not mean abandoning one's party.
This move comes after Jubilee Party formed an existing coalition with Gideon Moi's KANU last month, which saw West Pokot Senator Samuel Poghisio being named the Senate Majority Leader.
