The Jubilee National Management Committee has permitted the party secretariat to formally engage with ODM in drawing a pre-election coalition deal. "With this decision, the Jubilee Party will be formally writing to its coalition partner Kanu as required by our coalition agreement to seek their engagement," Tuju added. The meeting also realised the support Jubilee Party has received from ANC and Ford Kenya on many occasions in Parliament, the secretary-general added. On August 6, Jubilee and ODM parties formed a technical committee tasked with identifying instruments to ratify a merger between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga-led parties. Murathe noted that ODM structures are well-grounded and that Jubilee leadership is working to revamp the party.
