Jubilee Vice Chairman David Murathe has said President Uhuru Kenyatta is still committed to a pact he entered with Deputy President William Ruto in 2013.
This was in reference to an apparent agreement between Uhuru and Ruto in 2013 when they came together to run as president and deputy president.
Uhuru was then heading The National Alliance Party (TNA) and Ruto the United Republican Party (URP).
The duo agreed to have Uhuru be supported by the two parties for the top seat in 10 years and then hand over the mantle to Ruto.
This has however sparked political fireworks as DP allies claimed Uhuru had reneged on this promise after he secured a second term.
Murathe, an insider of Uhuru and the Kenyatta family said the DP’s allies were spoiling for Ruto by claiming that the president has changed his stand on the 2022 pact.
"At what point did the President stand and declare that he does not support the Deputy President? Murathe said on Sunday during a fundraiser at AIC Theta in Gatundu South.
The Jubilee top man told Ruto’s Tanga Tanga to stop running around the country making such remarks.
“Didn't he tell us that after his term the deputy shall succeed him? When did he ever say that he has absconded that pact? Yet People are going around preaching despondency," he added.
