Controversial Jubilee Party vice chairman David Murathe quit yesterday as the party descended into chaos.

Murathe, viewed as President Kenyatta’s mouthpiece, said his position was no longer tenable.

He dismissed suggestions that his resignation was as a result of pressure from Kenyatta.

“My position as the Jubilee vice chairman is no longer tenable. There is no way I am going to sit in NEC with a deputy party leader I have taken to court,” Murathe said.

“There was absolutely no pressure, but there was consultation within the party,” he added.

But even as he quit, he told reporters DP Ruto was unfit to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022 after serving as the country’s second in command for two consecutive terms.

He maintained Ruto and Kenyatta should retire together because they were elected as a unit.

“I am going to court to seek advisory opinion. We will soon start rolling a movement which will carry our message.”

Murathe alleged Ruto’s presidency would make a large swathe of Kenyans into panic because they are scared of his past.

“Kenyans are saying if he behaves this way when he is number two, what will he do when is number one? There has been a lot of corruption allegation and people from his backyard are crying foul over maize.”

The Jubilee top man said he might dump JP and team up with like-minded political players to form a major coalition which will form an inclusive government in 2022.

“If a new coalition comes we are free.”

Murathe was speaking on a day a section of Jubilee leaders launched a scathing attack against his remarks on Saturday that he would stop Ruto from running for President.
