Barely a day after Jubilee Party Vice-Chair David Murathe went on an all-out assault on Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential ambitions, he has resigned from his position in the ruling party.

Murathe made the announcement on Sunday at his home in Garden Estate, Nairobi saying his position at Jubilee was no longer tenable. Murathe said he had to sit in the same National Executive Council with a man (Ruto) he was taking to court to block his 2022 presidential bid.
