Igembe North MP Joseph Nteruaki is the latest politician to spot a widening rift between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.
The two leaders have been seen to grow distant lately, with their allies also engaging each other in verbal fights, despite the DP's attempts to reassure Kenyans of their solid union.
Nteruaki on Wednesday night claimed that the friendship that initially existed between Uhuru and Ruto has faded.
"The friendship between the president and the deputy is no longer visible. It's clear that the Jubilee Party has been divided into the Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga (Ile urafiki ya Rais na naibu wake sasa haionekani. Ukiangalia Jubilee nikama sasa imekuwa Kieleweke na Tangatanga)," he said on Radio Citizen.
Uhuru has lately appeared to pull his new ally and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga closer, at the expense of his DP who appears isolated.
Ruto and his team have openly cast suspicions about the union, with the DP repeatedly claiming that Raila is trying to use the same to break the ruling Jubilee Party ahead of the 2022 polls.
