The nation was yesterday more than shocked to find out the height of variance over the 2022 general elections involved in the jubilee party.

Politics is known to be deep in some individuals but so far the ground in preparation for the next election seems to have already gathered a lot of heat due to personal difference in opinion.

Murathe resigned as vice Chair with suspicions that he was pressured to do so.He insisted he would still move to the Supreme Court to block Ruto from contesting for the presidency in 2022.

“I am not comfortable with Ruto as President because of his character and in is tenure as Deputy President because of corruption allegations against him,” Murathe said.

Ironically as well, it has also emerged that the ruling party will soon convene a Parliamentary Group meeting to discuss Murathe’s conduct.

His court move was dismissed by Kamotho Waiganjo, a constitutional lawyer who said Article 148, which Murathe was quoting, was clear that Ruto is only barred from contesting for the position of a deputy president and not the presidency, after having served two terms.

“Lets look for political arguments against Ruto but not confuse Kenyans with constitutional arguments. Let us not weigh down our courts with arguments, which are of political nature. We cannot use the courts to stop a person from vying. It will be a serious misuse of the courts,” said Waiganjo.

On the much-talked Memorandum of Understanding between President Uhuru and Ruto, Murathe said: “If they allege there was an MoU to support Ruto, let those claiming to produce it.”

Majority of party MPs who spoke yesterday warned that Murathe’s statements were likely to cause division in the party.

Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri fired the first salvo, calling for the party to hold national elections to pave way for “sober” officials who would steer the party forward.

Nyeri Town MP, Ngunjiri Wambugu, a staunch opponent of Ruto, made an about-turn,in Nakuru he said Kenyans never voted for Murathe in the 2017 elections and that he and Raphael Tuju have no moral authority to speak on behalf of the Presidency.
