Since Tuesday's visit, legislators allied to DP Ruto have changed tact over the ongoing fight against corruption with Majority Leader Aden Duale now saying 'they have faith in their party leader and the president'.

For the last three months, tension had heightened within Jubilee as Ruto's troops accused the president of using war against corruption to block the DP's 2022 quest for State House.

The Jubilee Party leadership in the National Assembly on Wednesday said “they love their party leader and President Kenyatta”, and look forward to the State of the Nation address.

The leadership expressed confidence of unity amid claims some MPs wanted to disrupt the President’s State of the Nation address next week. There were claims that rebel Jubilee MPs plotted to shout down the president.

On Wednesday, the Nation learnt that President Kenyatta discussed with Dr Ruto the State of the Nation address before meeting other Jubilee Party leaders and ordered them to ensure unity in the House.

“They are excited to have the President exercise his constitutional obligation in accordance with Article 132(b) and c on measures taken and progress achieved in realising national values by his government,” Mr Duale said.

“We have strong and loyal members of our party, which is proud to have more than 175 MPs and hence no crisis for calling a PG (parliamentary group meeting) or Kamukunji,” Mr Duale said.

Jubilee MPs will now not hold any Kamukunji (informal sitting) as earlier projected to rally MPs behind the president following the Tuesday's meeting. Ruto and Uhuru toured Mombasa shortly after the meeting at Harambee Annex.

Divisions within the Jubilee party along with Raila Odinga's close relationship with the president had almost threatened the party unity, with two factions emerging within Jubilee. One team supports Uhuru while the other one backs DP Ruto.

With the latest silence from either sides, it is evident that the two leaders called for truce after months of disharmony. Also, it is said that Uhuru held a brief meeting with Raila Odinga before meeting with Ruto.
