DAILY POST: WAIGURU asks for Jubilee Party elections after MURATHE said Mt Kenya region will not support RUTO in 2022 News, Politics 02:57 Monday December 31, 2018-Kirinyaga County Governor, Anne Mumbi Waiguru, has asked Jubilee Party to conduct fresh elections to choose wise leaders who can speak on behalf of the party.
Waiguru made the statement on Saturday after Jubilee Party vice chairman, David Murathe, said Mt Kenya region will not support Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential bid in 2022. The governor dismissed Murathe’s remark and urged President Uhuru Kenyatta and Ruto to order fresh elections in the ruling coalition to stop division of the party. “It is imperative and in order that Jubilee hold party elections, as soon as possible, to forestall internal divisions and ensure statements are made by elected party officials, and that they in fact represent the views of the Jubilee Party as a whole,” Waiguru said.

.

“Jubilee needs a leadership that has a legitimate mandate and the people’s support," Waiguru added and noted that her statement did not reflect the position of the party. Ms Waiguru further asked all Jubilee leaders to support the Building Bridges Initiative that arose from the unity deal between Mr Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga as well as the president's Big Four agenda.
