Murathe Plots Mass Walkout From Jubilee Days After Resignation

Former Jubilee vice-chairman David Murathe is scheming a mass walkout of members opposed to Deputy President William Ruto.

The walkout will reportedly incorporate individuals who are against Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.

The new development comes after he resigned from the party on Sunday.

"We are ready to form a new coalition and I can tell you for sure it will crush Ruto and his group.

“I can tell him for free that he will be lucky to be an opposition leader," Murathe told The Star on Monday.

It is reported that Murathe is planning to either join an existing party or form a totally new one.

The new party will then form an alliance with Raila Odinga's ODM, Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper and ANC's Musalia Mudavadi — with one presidential candidate.

Murathe is fiercely opposed to Ruto's bid citing he is unfit to lead Kenya; he has pledged to do everything possible to stop Ruto, including going to the Supreme Court.

On Sunday night, the former Gatanga MP revealed that he was forming a stop-Ruto movement.

“We are dealing with a personality [Ruto] whom some of us believe is not suitable for that office. He has his supporters, we have our own people who are thinking alike.

“We will have these formations and Kenyans will select which one will work best for them,” Murathe mentioned during an interview on KTN News.
