NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 6 – The Jubilee Party National Executive Committee (NEC) has resolved to hold a Special National Delegates Convention (NDC) at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on July 22.
The planned meeting comes against the backdrop of the Azimio coalition threatening to declare the bi-partisan talks that are currently suspended moribund, should the Kanini Kega-led faction hold a National Delegates Convention.
Kega took issue with the National convention that was called by former president Uhuru Kenyatta, terming the meeting as inconsequential.
“We wish to inform our members that the purported changes in the leadership of our party made at the said meeting are of no legal consequence, “read the letter by Kega, further indicating that the party has communicated to the speaker of the national assembly informing him not to acknowledge the changes that were undertaken by the Jeremiah Kioni-led faction.
Azimio co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka while speaking at the Jubilee NDC presided over by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta threatened that they will be forced to abandon the talks between Azimio Coalition and their Kenya Kwanza Alliance alluding that the move is a ridicule to democracy.
“If those who have removed themselves from the party decide to do their own delegates convention then they should know there will be no bi-partisan talks. We will leave them and know they don’t believe in plural democracy,” he said.
