Raphael Tuju, the former Secretary General of Kenya's Jubilee Party, officially resigned from the party in August 2025, ending nearly two decades of political association with former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Tuju paid tribute to Kenyatta for his attempt to transcend tribal politics, describing it as a 'bold experiment.' Speaking publicly, Tuju expressed regret on behalf of his generation, acknowledging that leaders had failed to advance Kenya's progress. He clarified that his departure from Jubilee was for personal reasons and stated he has no interest in contesting the Siaya gubernatorial race. The resignation has prompted discussions about Tuju's future political plans and the readiness of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for upcoming electoral challenges.
