Internal disputes within the Jubilee Party have stalled planned changes, casting uncertainty over Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Fred Matiang’i's leadership roles.

• Mediation talks aimed at resolving the stalemate have hit a snag.
• Uhuru Kenyatta intended to install Fred Matiang’i as his deputy party leader.
• The party is experiencing ongoing internal disagreements that are hindering leadership transitions.

Speculation is rife regarding the whereabouts of ODM party leader Oburu Oginga, who has been notably absent from several key party events.

• Oburu Oginga, ODM party leader, missed the ODM retreat in Mombasa last weekend, as well as other recent party activities and public events since April 20.
• The absences have fueled rumors of illness, though Junet Mohammed, National Assembly Minority Leader, stated Oginga is in good health and recovering from a brief illness.
• Oginga was last seen at a political event on April 20 and was scheduled to open the Raila Odinga Hospital on April 27, but Gladys Wanga, ODM National Chairperson, attended the launch in his stead.
