It has emerged that Jubilee Party and Kenya African National Union (KANU) have signed a post-poll deal allowing the Gideon Moi led party to attend Jubilee’s Parliamentary Group Meetings.
The ruling party’s secretary-general Raphael Tuju confirmed this development hours after President Uhuru Kenyatta called for a PG meeting.
So on Thursday, President Kenyatta, his brother Muhoho Kenyatta & Nancy Gitau met Senator @MoiGideon and signed a coalition agreement. On Friday Moi was boasting about it in a meeting with @skmusyoka. Unfortunately, that only added 3 senators to the plan against @kipmurkomen

According to Daily Nation, Tuju said though the two parties had a pre-election agreement, it had not been deposited with the Registrar of Political Parties. “To avoid any challenge of ambiguity, the two parties have chosen the path of a post-election agreement to formalise the relationship they already have,” The SG said.
The agreement, which was deposited to the registrar on May 8, will give KANU legislators power of attending Jubilee’s PG meetings. Jubilee’s SG and his KANU counterpart Nick Salat signed the coalition agreement.

This unfolded on the eve of a Jubilee Parliamentary Group Meeting which is set to take place at State House on Monday, May 11. This will be the first meeting of the strongly divided Jubilee legislators since the re-election of Uhuru and Ruto into office in 2017.
