Coalition will be final nail in the Opposition's coffin

Politically speaking, this week has been high octane due to the intrigues and infighting within the ruling Jubilee Party. In a move to assert his power over his Deputy President and those allied to him within Jubilee, President Uhuru orchestrated the removal of Senators Kipchumba Murkomen and Susan Kihika from the lucrative and powerful Senate leadership positions of Majority Leader and Chief Whip.

There’s talk that in coming days, a government of national unity will be formed, drawn from various political parties, most notably, Jubilee, Kanu and ODM. This week, Jubilee and Kanu formed a post-election coalition that paved the way for the appointment of Kanu Senator Samuel Poghisio to replace Murkomen. This comes after the 2018 ODM and Jubilee ‘handshake’.
