Is David Murathe still the vice chair of Jubilee Party? This is the question that many can ask themselves following the silence the party posed after his resignation. However, Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju notes that the party was yet to conclude the legal process of confirming the resignation of Murathe.
Although he submitted his resignation letter to the ruling party’s Secretary General over a month ago, he claimed that he was yet to receive a letter accepting his resignation.
According to Kenyans.co.ke, the party had not formally notified the Registrar of Political parties Ann Nderitu, as required by law.
Nderitu revealed that her office was yet to get any confirmation from Jubilee party.
‘I am aware the party is in the process of making a communication on the party leadership changes. We are in conversation,” she disclosed.
On Thursday, Murathe continued his onslaught against Deputy President William Ruto during a consultative meeting at former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka’s home.
Murathe claimed that the National Anti-Corruption Conference that was held on January 25 was convened to discuss Ruto.
During his resignation on January 6, the party leader indicated that his “position was no longer tenable”.
“I now find that it is no longer tenable to stay on as the party vice-chairman, given that I will have to sit in the same National Executive Council (NEC) with a man I am taking to court to block from running for president,” he stated.
He also announced a movement that he would use to achieve his goal of preventing the Deputy President from ascending to power.
Part of his plan involves getting the Supreme Court to declare that since the DP automatically acts as president in the event that the incumbent is unable to discharge his functions, he should not be allowed to run for president after the two terms.
