The ruling Jubilee party was unveiled over the week bringing under her umbrella a host of smaller parties under the emblem of the Jubilee alliance.
Gorging on smaller parties and swallowing them up has not stemmed Jubilee's gluttonous appetite and the party is still keen on other entities to fold up and join the alliance's bandwagon.
The initial formation of Jubilee alliance was marked by a chorus of protests and deep seated jitters of discontent; a budding democracy like ours thrives on the vibrancy and potency of a healthy exchange of divergent and sometimes contrarian opinions.
Will the new Jubilee alliance stifle different opinions within her ranks? Or will it be a case of "just play along"?
How will the Jubilee alliance top leadership be able to handle the situation and prevent potential fallout?
Few weeks ago there were reports that over 50 aspirants for different political seats in the Mount Kenya region threatened to ditch Jubilee over claims of alleged biasness in choosing representatives to the just concluded September 10th delegates conference that led to the birth and unveiling of Jubilee alliance.
You can be rest assured; this will not be the only sticking point likely to face the new political party.
Cobbling together a number of disparate parties and attempting to massage the different viewpoints and opinions won't be easy. The reputed merging of 11 to 12 political parties to form Jubilee alliance means the president and his deputy have a bigger headache and a significantly bigger headcount to deal with than the TNA-URP political marriage.
Jubilee alliance would require a master stroke of luck and a deft political touch coupled with proficient onboarding tactics to handle this one.
