For a minute if you thought the Jubilee marriage was perfect then you got it wrong. The different scuffle has exposed the struggling relationship in the Jubilee party.
The Tano Tena chorus and songs that were feeling the atmosphere was just but an aphrodisiac for that time to get in the top positions.
But the real state has been exposed showing how the different leaders from Jubilee hold different loyalties. The different loyalties are in three groups.
First Group
The first one comprises vocal and unapologetic pro-Ruto allies opposed to what they see as a cold Machiavellian attempt to eject the DP from the Kenyatta succession line-up.
And this after helping Mr Kenyatta secure two terms in office.
Second Group
The second group comprises a calculating lot that won’t show its hand too soon, waiting for a signal, possibly from the President, who has said his sole focus is on his legacy — the “Big Four” economic agenda, namely universal health, affordable housing, industrialisation and food security.
To these, he has since added uniting Kenyans and fighting corruption as the things he would want to be remembered for.
Third Group
Then there is the third group under the umbrella of Former Parliamentarians Association (Fopa), whose members blame Mr Ruto for their losses in the 2017 Jubilee primaries.
Most of those who trounced them are believed to owe their election and plum parliamentary committee memberships to Mr Ruto rather than the President.
The Fopa members have been vocal and visible, visiting ODM leader Raila Odinga in support of the “handshake”, and publicly wooing Amani Coalition leader Musalia Mudavadi to join other Nasa principles Kalonzo Musyoka and Mr Odinga in the Building Bridges Initiative.
That will make 2019 an annus horribilis (terrible year) or annus mirabilis (wonderful year), depending on who wins the battle for the hearts and minds of voters in central Kenya.
There are only two standpoints: vindicating Mr Ruto and rebelling against the President, or rejecting Mr Ruto.
