The newspaper reported on the plot of President William Ruto's surprise visit to his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, on December 9, 2024.
At that time, it was said that Ruto sought Uhuru's hand in controlling the Mount Kenya region, whose voters had started to part with him (Ruto).
It is believed that Uhuru and Ruto agreed on the possibility of a coalition, which was hinted at by Ruto to bring some of the former president's allies into government.
However, a month later, it emerged that nothing major was discussed at the meeting held in Gatundu South.
Secretary General of Jubilee Party Jeremiah Kioni told Taifa Today that there is no agreement between Uhuru and Ruto to help Ruto get his seat in the 2027 general election.
Uhuru is the leader of Jubilee Party.
According to Kioni, the retired president still values the nation and that he wishes Kenyans well.
“He wants a government that leads the country well, calm and successful,” emphasized the former MP Ndaragwa. In addition, he asked JP supporters to continue to be loyal to the party.
Kioni said that Uhuru's recent statements in support of Gen Z to continue to defend their rights is a sign that the former president is clear about his promises to Kenyans.
