said Deputy President William Ruto is not the party’s choice to succeed
President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.

ruling party in the wake of a brewing storm sparked by its vice chairman David
Murathe.

appoint our candidate for a presidential candidacy and as far as I am concerned
nothing has changed,” Tuju said.

But the move by Jubilee’s
Vice-chairman and Uhuru Kenyatta’s ally David Murathe to discredit a 2022
