15.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Uhuru Lost the Jubilee Leadership
⌨
President William Ruto continued his Nyanza tour in Siaya as papers pressed ODM figures to choose between the broad-based deal with UDA and the opposition, with the registrar publishing first mandatory timelines for 2027.
Mid-morning coverage converged on Nairobi beating London to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships, the first on African soil, awarded by the World Athletics Council in Budapest.
By afternoon attention shifted to the High Court declaring the government's sale of a 15% Safaricom stake to Vodacom null and void for lack of public participation, prompting calls to return the shares.
Evening headlines were dominated by a ruling upholding the bar on retired presidents holding party office beyond six months. Uhuru Kenyatta said he would hand over Jubilee leadership, Kalonzo Musyoka called an Azimio meeting on his chairmanship, and Ruto in Siaya called Uhuru a rebel leader for choosing opposition politics.
