The fate of Deputy President William Ruto as Jubilee Party deputy leader now lies with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
This after the National Management Committee (NMC) made the bold decision to remove Ruto as the party’s deputy leader and forwarded the decision to the National Executive Council (NEC) chaired by the president.
Uhuru’s allies in Jubilee have accused Ruto of sabotage and faulted his association with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), an affiliate party of Jubilee.
