Ruto's Secret Meeting with Ousted Jubilee MPs Sparks Rumors of New Party ¶
DP William Ruto has been secretly meeting with ousted Jubilee MPs, sparking rumors of a new party, Jubilee Asili.
According to sources, the meeting took place on June 18, 2020, at a location known as Jubilee Asili, which is different from the party's headquarters in Parklands.
The move has sparked speculation that Ruto is planning to form a new party, with some even suggesting that he may have already registered the new party.
On June 17, 2020, Jubilee Party had signed a deal with CCM and Wiper parties, which some believe is a move to undermine Ruto's chances of becoming the party's presidential candidate in 2022.
Some of the strategies reportedly being used to undermine Ruto include stripping him of his Jubilee Party ticket and handing it over to Kalonzo Musyoka and Gideon Moi.
It is worth noting that the rumors of a new party have been circulating on social media, with some bloggers claiming that Ruto has already registered the new party.
However, the party's leadership has not made any official statement on the matter, leaving many to speculate about Ruto's intentions.
