The party has also commenced the process of leaving the Raila Odinga-led Azimio la Umoja coalition.

“The National Executive Committee commences the process of exiting the Azimio coalition. The National Executive Committee engages with the ruling coalition on the possibility of creating a working cooperation arrangement with it.

"The committee demands that Jubilee Party be recognised as a Parliamentary Party with all the rights and benefits accruing thereto taking into account that Jubilee Party is the third largest party in Parliament,” the party said in a statement.

The new details come a day after President William Ruto met with over 30 Jubilee elected MPs at State House.

In a statement after the meeting, President Ruto announced that the Jubilee MPs agreed to work together with the government to advance the development agenda and would be treated as Kenya Kwanza members.

"You have a right to make choices as Kenya is a democratic country. You are now our members and we will treat you as such," the President said.
