Jubilee Party politicians have come out to celebrate the outfit’s Vice Chair David Murathe’s resignation.

The Uhuru confidant quit the position following a brush with DP William Ruto in which he had vowed to stop the latter’s 2022 ambitions, noting his position was no longer untenable.

Meanwhile, Ruto’s lieutenants had threatened to impeach the head of state over his silence on the matter.
