President Kenyatta had been expected to chair the meeting as the Jubilee party leader but in an unprecedented move, Secretary-General Raphael Tuju stepped in.

The president, however, reported to the venue hours after the PG meeting had been concluded to attend a different event.

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen had suggested that the President may have been intimidated by the number of Tanga Tanga MPs who attended the meeting.
