(Bloomberg) -- Kenya’s ruling party expelled six lawmakers aligned with Deputy President William Ruto and replaced a key senate leader, the latest sign that it won’t support his plan to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in elections next year.
The Jubilee Party’s National Management Committee kicked out the lawmakers on Monday, after considering the findings of a disciplinary panel, Secretary-General Raphael Tuju said in a statement posted on Twitter. The party’s Chief Whip, Irungu Kang’ata, was replaced by Senator Kimani Wamatangi, Tuju told reporters after a Wednesday meeting.
