Although he supports the unexpected handshake between his boss, Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, Deputy President William Ruto may have hinted looming intrigues within Jubilee and their new partners.
While Uhuru remains tight lipped about his association with Raila, the president may be silently working with the latter, something indicated by the recent funeral of Winnie Mandela.
Before the Saturday's South Africa funeral, Raila has hosted a number of key allies to Uhuru among them Moses Kuria, Daniel Moi and even ex-Kiambu boss William Kabogo.
At Ms Mandela's funeral, Raila was seen wearing a presidential badge, another prove that his working relationship with Uhuru is intact.
Despite the new transformation of the country's politics, Ruto is however crying foul, further sending coded signal on possible fallout with Uhuru.
"We accept partnership about development but not boardroom deals to amend the constitution just to accommodate people in leadership," he fired a warning over the weekend.
The irritated DP further said: "If you want seats, let's face the people. We can't allow a situation where parliament chooses PM to head government."
Last week, Raila's meeting with retired President Daniel Moi may have further caused discomfort in Ruto's camp, with Nandi senator Samson Cherargei warning that they can't allow Ruto to be shortchanged.
"Let them just proceed with their handshake as long as it is not about preventing Ruto's presidency. We shall fight attempts to scrap the current system," said Cherargei, a Ruto ally.
More interestingly, the presence of William Kamket at Moi's compound may be making Ruto suspicious since the KANU MP is the author of constitutional amendment bill.
It it not clear how Ruto would deal with a referendum with a backing of Raila and Uhuru but he has since hinted his discomfort with it.
