He must go to the country to bring that synergy and connectivity in these three groups,&#8221; Keynan stated.<\/p>\n<p>His sentiments were echoed by Murang&#8217;a Woman Representative Sabina Chege who vouched for Uhuru popularising the party as part of the rejuvenation plan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a good idea for the President to come and emphasize the unity of the mountain as he opens up the new projects and meets opinion leaders,&#8221; Chege stated.<\/p>\n<p>Jubilee Party Deputy Secretary-General, Joshua Kutuny, however, differed with the sentiments stating that the President does not need to engage in party politics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do not need the President to come to the ground because as a party, we have our own programmes to re-energise and popularise the party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So far, we are getting a lot of positive responses from the grassroots after a good performance in Kiambaa,&#8221; Kutuny stated.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling party has been expressing an urgent need to hit the restart button especially after losing recently held by-elections, which seemingly symbolised Jubilee&#8217;s lost grip of the Mt Kenya region.<\/p>\n<p>This has seen Uhuru allies hold extensive meetings in order to strategise and formulate the best tactics to curb Deputy President William Ruto&#8217;s influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
