It has now been revealed that President Uhuru Kenyatta called off highly anticipated Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference after he received warning from National Intelligence.
Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference (NDC) was scheduled for November 30th but the president cancelled it at the eleventh hour.
The NDC was aimed at ousting DP William Ruto and securing a deal with ODM leader Raila Odinga ahead of the 2022 succession race.
According to Hustler Nation Spokesperson Dennis Itumbi, the head of state withdrew from the event due to his hectic schedule and other obligations.
However, it has now been revealed that Uhuru cancelled the Jubilee NDC after National Intelligence Service (NIS) warned of a planned violence at the event.
According to a publication by the Daily Nation, NIS had warned of plans to either boo the President in case he attended, or generally make the event ungovernable before the full resolutions could be read out.
The NIS had earlier on received intelligence that there were a group of spies in the party who had colluded with outsiders to heckle Uhuru.
President Uhuru had been expected to formalize the long awaited merger between Jubilee and Raila’s ODM.
He was also expected to make a case to his delegates on why he was no longer seeing eye to eye with his deputy Ruto.
This is coming at a time Ruto and his allies have dismissed the looming Jubilee-ODM coalition.
