THE JUBILEE PACT
With the race to state house intensifying, several parties ran into forming coalitions that could see them
However even with the political drumbeats, they managed to
get moving and the three agreed that Ruto would be the Deputy Flag bearer
whereas the candidate had to be chosen amongst
Uhuru and Mudavadi. However,
this did not work out as seemingly, there was something in the offing and
probably, Uhuru has used this tactic to lure Mudavadi to his side by promising
to step down in his favour so that he could be the coalition flag bearers.
This trick never worked out and Mudavadi made a grand
walkout with his colleagues from the coalition to form an alliance with Gideon
Moi of Kanu and his fellow tribesmen like Eugene
Wamalwa. Deputy Prime Minister and UDF presidential
candidate Musalia Mudavadi accused his former allies In Jubilee Alliance,
barely two days after parting ways with them of playing games with Kenyans, as
he took his campaigns to his home turf of Kakamega County.
The Jubilee duo however answered him
and they said , “Musalia
Mudavadi needs to accept the reality that he must work hard to convince the delegates
to nominate him Instead of trying to arm-twist Uhuru Kenyatta to Step down for
Him.” This however did not auger well with Mudavadi.
Days after, things have picked up and the coalition is
sending some signals to their rival counterparts, CORD, that they are headed
for the statehouse in the first ninety minutes. Currently Deputy Prime minister
Uhuru Kenyatta has been unveiled as the presidential flag bearer, Eldoret North
MP William Ruto as the running mate and NARC leader Charity Ngilu as the
designate majority leader in the senate should the coalition win.
The DPM, counterparts also recognised the fact that winning
the election was not going to be an easy task and thus they shall have to work
extra hard and remain united to the end and that they were going to shun divisive
politics, politics of tribalism and mismanagement of national resources.
