On November 2, 2021, the national dailies reported extensively on Jubilee's plans to kick out renegade members from party positions and ratify its coalition deal with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

According to the reports, the party's National Management Committee and its parliamentary leadership are expected to kick out renegade members from party positions.

President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party will hold its National Delegates Conference (NDC) at the end of the month, where the political break-up between Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto is expected to happen.

Following the fallout, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga will be ushered into the ruling party as a new partner.

Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal has temporarily suspended the High Court order requiring Uhuru to appoint six judges he had rejected.

Justices Roselyn Nambuye, Imaana Laibuta, and Wanjiru Karanja directed the status quo until November 19, when they ruled on the six judges' High Court orders.

Additionally, the Eldoret High Court has extended the enhanced voter registration exercise by a week, following a petition filed by activist Patrick Cherono.

Kenya's environmental advocate Elizabeth Wathuti has challenged global leaders to take action against climate change, stating that millions of Kenyans are facing climate-related starvation due to the inaction by governments across the world.
