On Sunday, Deputy President William Ruto called on Jubilee politicians to end factional politics and focus on the party's development agenda.
Speaking at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Kiharu, Murang'a County, Ruto emphasized the need for unity among Jubilee leaders, saying they should rally behind President Uhuru Kenyatta to implement projects that would improve the lives of Kenyans.
“I want to urge Kenyans and especially Jubilee leaders to stop factional politics. We are one team, we have one leader, we have one manifesto, we only have one Big 4 agenda… So let us unite and work together in fulfilling the pledges President Uhuru Kenyatta made to Kenyans,” Ruto said.
The Deputy President vowed to continue spearheading the implementation of the Jubilee manifesto across the country, saying he would mobilize every resource, person, and leader to ensure the party's projects were delivered.
“I want to assure you that we will not allow the party's projects to be derailed. We will mobilise every resource, person and leader in the direction of ensuring that we deliver on our manifesto on the Big 4 project so that we can transform the country,” Ruto said.
The call for unity comes amid divisions in the ruling party, with the emergence of two groups: Tanga Tanga, perceived to be pro-Ruto, and Kieleweke, believed to be against the Deputy President.
