  "summary": "Jubilee Party has rejected claims linking it to unrest during recent opposition activities in Naivasha and Nakuru, blaming the incidents on policing failures rather than their own involvement. Jubilee Secretary General Moitale Ole Kenta accused DCP-aligned figures of scapegoating their party and insisted that the party had consistently condemned violence. The pushback comes as tensions deepen within the opposition movement backed by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, with DCP seeking to expand its national footprint under Gachagua while other parties resist attempts to consolidate the opposition under a single political vehicle.",
