On Tuesday, June 13, Kanini Kega, a member of the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA), announced that the Jubilee Party has officially expressed its desire to withdraw from the Azimio la Umoja Coalition. However, through their official Twitter page, the letter has been declared fake.
In a statement, Kega explained that this decision was reached following the National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings held on Tuesday, June 6.
"Further take notice that pursuant to Article 33.1.1 and 2 of the Party Constitution as read together with Article 22.1. of the Deed of Agreement for Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition dated March 12, 2022, Jubilee Party hereby gives the notice to withdraw from the Deed of Agreement for Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition," read part of Kanini Kega's statement.

Jubilee Party is in Azimio to stay. We kindly request those who feel tired of this cause, to walk away quietly into a party where they will be more comfortable. #MbelePamoja pic.twitter.com/1S5ZpMmfXZ

"Take note the National Executive Committee (NEC) of Jubilee Party meeting of June 6, 2023, resolved to withdraw from the Deed of Agreement for Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition," the statement added.
The withdrawal request occurred amid a number of disputes between two sections of the party, one led by Jeremiah Kioni and the other by Kega.
