The Jubilee side is mounting pressure on him from one side as his former friends-turned rivals continue to rock the party.
The remarks of Kitui Senator David Musila, National Assembly Minority leader Francis Nyenze and Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama clearly shows that all is not well in Wiper.
The former vice presidents fight to ensure that his friend turned foe Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua is no longer the county boss has continued to face many sets after Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) struck the name of former Kathaini MP Wavinya Ndeti from the race on the grounds that she belonged to two political parties, which she has denied on several accounts pending hearing of her case.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, for his part, has launched scathing attack on the Ukambani political kingpin claiming that he is scouting to nominated as a senator after the forthcoming general elections.
The tribulations of the former vice president deepened when a section of leaders aligned to Jubilee faulted him for nominating his own son Kennedy to join the East African Assembly (EALA).
Led by National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale, the leaders have vowed to block Kennedy’s nomination.
