President Uhuru Kenyatta has suffered two major losses in a span of one week in May 2021. First, his Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was declared null and void by the High Court.
Secondly, Uhuru s Jubilee Party lost the Juja by-election to its own member and Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria. To worsen the situation, Kuria is considered a rebel member after his candidate won the seat through the People s Empowerment Party (PEP).
PEP s George Koimburi defeated Jubilee s Susan Njeri Waititu - the widow of the late Juja MP Francis Wakapee Waititu.
