President Uhuru Kenyatta is reportedly under pressure from Deputy President William Ruto to convene urgent meeting for Jubilee leaders, reports the Standard.
While Uhuru's allies have openly dismissed the calls before, Ruto's team is however keen to have the meeting to solve ever escalating differences in Jubilee.
Although Ruto has not openly asked Uhuru to call for the meeting, he's said now to been pushing for it, a move that could put his relationship with Uhuru on test yet again.
“We are a multiparty democracy. We must, therefore, organise ourselves around national political parties with issues, programmes and policies,” Ruto said on Sunday.
State House spokesperson Kanze Dena declined to confirm the latest pressure from Ruto. She insisted that the matter was political and she's not party to it.
“You know that’s party politics and I will not comment anything,” Ms Dena said.
Jubilee party Secretary General Raphael Tuju was also non-committal when asked if the party will yield to pressure and convene a meeting.
“If the DP has said that, I can’t contradict him because he is my boss,” Tuju said, while refusing to confirm about the meeting.
“Well the DP talked about it and I think he is the best person to confirm. I don’t want to speculate."
Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot voiced support for the meeting, saying that it was necessary so that the party can heal after constant wrangles.
“It’s our hope to meet and correct ourselves, where one section of the divide has wronged the other," said Mr Cheruiyot.
