New intelligence from 2020 reveals that Deputy President William Ruto's Tanga Tanga faction is allegedly developing plans to undermine the Jubilee Party as internal power struggles intensify ahead of the 2022 general elections. The focus of these efforts centers on the Jubilee Asili Centre, a newly established entity that has become a hub for political maneuvering.
Inside sources indicate the Asili Centre, created to accommodate party leaders excluded from the main headquarters, is being used to coordinate strategies that could lead to the party's dissolution. This follows coalition agreements between Jubilee and KANU CCM, Wiper Party, which Ruto's allies reportedly view as existential threats.
A team of legal experts and political figures, including former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, is reportedly working on mechanisms to reclaim party control or pursue legal action to dissolve Jubilee. Kuria confirmed the group's intent to "fight for Jubilee until the end. If it fails, then we go down with the party," according to 2020 reports.
Documents suggest the faction is exploring internal party mechanisms and potential legal challenges to dissolve Jubilee, citing alleged violations of political party guidelines. The developments highlight escalating tensions within the ruling coalition as the 2022 elections approach.
