The Jubilee party, through its 'Secretary General,' Kanini Kega, has written to the joint select committee to protest the absence of Jubilee party representation in the intended membership of the bipartisan select committee, which opens today in Bomas of Kenya.

According to the letter to the committee, Adan Keynan, the only Jubilee party member nominated by the party to participate in the talks, was forced to resign after Azimio leadership objected to his presence in the talks.

According to the letter, the committee's proposed mandate will have far-reaching ramifications in our election process, which we firmly oppose as a significant n important participant and the third largest political party in parliament.

The party has requested that no more negotiations on the intended bipartisan talks take place until its demands are met.

However, the bipartisan committee to which the letter was directed began deliberations today in Kenya without considering the Jubilee party's demands.

Kenya Kwanza revealed in early May that Saku MP Dido Rasso had been selected to replace Keynan on the bipartisan discussions committee.

Azimio indicated in an earlier letter that it would postpone its Thursday anti-government protests if Kenya Kwanza agreed to its demand on Keynan.

This comes at a time when the azimio la Umoja coalition has given the kenya kwanza team a 48 hours request, or they return to the streets for their anti-government protest.

Raila stated that the president had become hesitant, despite agreeing to call off nationwide protests and initiating talks.

The Azimio leader emphasized that his team entered the talks with good intentions, believing the Kenya Kwanza team was equally committed to them.

Raila explained that they had acted in good faith by calling off the demonstrations in response to Kenya Kwanza's approach, in which they had expressed their readiness for talks and promised to remove Adan Keynan, whom they had earlier nominated as one of their delegates.

Raila urged the Kenya Kwanza coalition to make arrangements to form their team before the Wednesday deadline. He stated that the coalition had been citing the unavailability of some members as a reason for the delay.

The former prime minister stressed that the talks must commence on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, as agreed upon. Otherwise, he stated that they would explore other alternatives.
