The two leaders have been traversing the country as a team, raising anxiety within a section of elders who fear the plan may not work.

In a statement last Friday to Kenyatta, the council advised the two leaders to campaign separately for strategic reasons according to the Standard.

“The DP is building a polarizing image which may work against Jubilee in neutral grounds such as Western and Coast,” Chairman Wachira Kiago announced.

Before the Friday’s meeting, Kiago had, on behalf of a section of elders, distributed a social media post demanding campaigns for top Jubilee leadership.

Recently, nominated Senator Paul Njoroge expressed similar sentiments by cautioning President Kenyatta against campaigning along with his deputy.
