On 16 September 2014, a public event attended by Deputy President William Ruto was overshadowed by a heated dispute inside the Jubilee coalition over governors’ push for a referendum.
The disagreement escalated so sharply that it nearly turned physical, according to the archive report. The clash exposed the depth of the split within the coalition as leaders argued over the referendum drive backed by governors.
The source material does not provide further details on the venue, the specific leaders involved, or any formal response after the confrontation. What is clear is that the row became one of the most visible signs of tension around the referendum question at the time.
