Political analyst Ambrose Weda now says that Jubilee Party wrangles might have taken a new twist.
This comes at a time when the party seems to have broken into two factions, with the side allied to Ruto also raising concerns over an alleged plot by outsiders to break the party.
Weda now says that the said rift could be real, hence the recent scenario where the Ruto's supporters in Kiambu County were seen dressed in yellow shirts on Sunday.
Speaking on Wednesday, he observed that the DP was trying to pass a message that he has a second option in case Jubilee is brought to the ground.
This is with the consideration that yellow color is associated with the DP's now-defunct United Republican Party (URP) which merged with Jubilee ahead of 2017.
"Ruto was trying to pass a message out to the people trying to destroy the party by telling him that he has options. He is saying that we have another party," he said.
The commentator was speaking on KBC English Service's The Big Conversation on Wednesday morning.
Ruto has personally raised concerns that some people are trying to wrestle the once invincible bloc to the ground, and has directly and openly linked the plot to opposition leader Raila Odinga.
