Meanwhile, Jubilee Party’s National Management Committee is today expected to meet with its leaders from the Senate and National Assembly to finalise on the nature of its engagement with ODM.
"The meeting will craft a framework of how the party will engage with ODM and other parties for a broader alliance ahead of 2022,” Jubilee deputy secretary-general Joshua Kutuny said as quoted by a local daily.
Both parties are also involved in an in-house rejuvenation exercise to their houses in order ahead of the 2022 polls.
Early this week, ODM waved membership registration fees for a period of three months in a bid to encourage more Kenyans to the party.
On the other hand, Jubilee has organized a Parliamentary Group meeting for later this month after some members complained that none had been held in the second term of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
