Jeremiah Kioni, Jubilee Party Secretary General and a close ally to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, sent a message to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua months after calls for unity with the former president.

Speaking to the media on Thursday when he was questioned whether the Jubilee Party was considering an alliance with Gachagua, Kioni revealed that the former ruling party's focus had been intact since 2017 and that Gachagua's change of stance would not deter the party's plan. "We are happy that he is the one shooting best at his former boss but about where we want to go, we already knew where we were going even before 2017 and 2022.

He has to be careful not to come and misdirect people and create false hopes.

Getting Ruto out of power takes a lot more than making statements in the churches," Kioni stated.
