There are serious divisions wrecking the Jubilee party from inside, former Sports and Youth Affairs Assistant Minister Kabando Kabando has observed.
Kabando said the once strong and formidable political outfit was falling apart since its leaders; President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, were no longer reading from the same script.
The former Mukurweini Member of Parliament termed the coming up together of Uhuru and Ruto in 2013 and again in 2017 to contest the presidency as an "unholy" alliance, and predicted the duo will go separate ways in the next election.
In a tweet on Thursday, Kabando envisioned that after the 'certain' death of Jubilee, a new alliance will come up, just like it happened in 2002 when the Rainbow coalition was born.
He referred to the moment when opposition politicians led by retired President Mwai Kibaki and ODM leader Raila Odinga joined hands to form NARC which ended KANU's 40-year rule.
"UhuRuto was unholy alliance; no longer at ease, center cannot hold, things fall apart. New alliance rekindling 2002 Rainbow heralding final crumble of impunity, anchor devolution, embed economic blocks, inclusivity," the vocal politician tweeted.
The simmering differences within the ruling outfit may not be ironed out soon after Uhuru reportedly ignored calls by Ruto for the party to have a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting.
Through State House spokesperson Kanze Dena, the Jubilee party leader said a PG was not his priority, noting his main focus was to deliver on his election pledges touching on development and not politics.
“The question on Jubilee meeting is political. And like my boss has said before, we are not going to delve into political issues,” Dena said on Tuesday.
