Jumwa and her Msambweni counterpart Suleiman Dori were summoned in October to appear before the ODM disciplinary committee after they openly declared their support for Deputy President William Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid. They ignored the summons. In June 2018, Jumwa was on record saying that she had made up her mind and would support DP Ruto as he is ready to for the country’s top job irking the party leadership.

However in October Jumwa had changed tune and declared that she respects Raila as her party leader. Jumwa said she was in constant communication with Raila. As the saying goes – all’s well that ends well.
