A team of leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto now wants Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju to immediately resign from his post.
Mr Tuju is increasingly under pressure to quit with Dr Ruto taking him head-on, accusing him of working with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
In a tweet on Sunday, Dr Ruto wondered why Tuju should be a chief strategist of Mr Odinga yet he was still yjr Secretary General of Jubilee.
“So our democracy is so liberal that the SG of a ruling party has become the chief strategist of the opposition!! Maajabu (Wonders!!),” the DP wrote.
At Vihiga on Sunday, Tanga Tanga team led by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei asked the party to replace Tuju with former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale.
In an interview with the Nation on Sunday, Tuju refused to respond to the DP's claims, arguing that he's committed to helping President Uhuru Kenyatta to perform his duties.
“It is … my position that I am committed to supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta’s efforts to unite the country through bold steps like the BBI, the handshake, the fight against corruption and the Big Four agenda.”
Speaking during the Vihiga event, Khalwale asked the Luhya community to join Jubilee, arguing that it's the only national party which can help them join government.
A local daily on Sunday claimed that Tuju is currently a chief strategist in Raila's team, a claim which ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna dismissed as fake.
