Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has said he will leave the Jubilee Party immediately if former President Uhuru Kenyatta decides to work with Rigathi Gachagua.
Taking to his official Facebook page on Friday, November 7, the former lawmaker stated that should Uhuru join forces with Gachagua, he would have no option but to exit the Jubilee Party.
Ngunjiri emphasized that he would completely disassociate himself from both Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee, saying he cannot operate within the kind of politics he has witnessed from Gachagua.
“If Uhuru was to work with Gachagua, I would leave Jubilee immediately. I can’t operate in the politics I have seen Gachagua do, even for Uhuru. So if they got into bed, I would disassociate myself from Uhuru and Jubilee,” Wambugu said
The former lawmaker also accused Gachagua of persistently insulting the Jubilee faction, even mocking them by calling them a “red wheelbarrow.”
Wambugu maintained that while he respects Uhuru’s appeal against insults, he won’t stop holding Gachagua accountable through his social media posts.
“Gachagua & his team have been insulting us & calling us a ‘red wheelbarrow’. Bazuu says don’t insult back. I agree. My Gachagua injections continue kama kawaida. Those are not insults,” Wambugu stated. Source
The former MP’s remarks came just hours after former President Uhuru Kenyatta, while addressing a Jubilee grassroots engagement meeting in Murang’a, warned party members against hurling insults at their political rivals, including Rigathi Gachagua.
Uhuru emphasized that any Jubilee member found engaging in such behavior would face immediate expulsion from the party.
Strengthening the Jubilee Party
The fourth President of Kenya, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, is currently working to revive and solidify support for the former ruling party ahead of the 2027 General Election.
During the Murang’a meeting, Uhuru officially endorsed former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i as the Jubilee Party’s presidential flag bearer, signaling his intent to challenge President William Ruto in the upcoming polls.
