This meeting comes in the wake of political parties’ realignment and formation of new coalitions. For instance, within the last week, Mudavadi has held a series of political meetings including one with Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetagula and other legislators allied to the Deputy President William Ruto.
In a span of one week, Mudavadi met Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, MPs Didmus Barasa, Dan Wanyama, John Waluke and Senator Kimani Wamatangi.
Martha Karua and Peter Kenneth have been presidential candidates in the past elections with Kosgey being viewed as a very influential person in Ruto’s backyard, the Rift Valley region.
At the beginning of the month, President Uhuru Kenyatta signed a coalition agreement on behalf of the Jubilee Party with Kanu.
The coalition agreement was reportedly signed in the presence of President Kenyatta’s brother Muhoho Kenyatta and Nancy Gitau.
The registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu has since ratified the post-election coalition deal.
In another account of events, Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Party is looking into joining the KANU-Jubilee pact as the 2022 elections draw nearer.
“As Wiper, we are consulting with our coalition partners ODM, ANC, and Ford-Kenya [to] see what we can do. The country needs to come together at this time in order to unite,” said Kalonzo.
Despite the country dealing with COVID-19 pandemic, political temperatures have been high, especially in the Jubilee Party where rifts between the President and his Deputy have been made evident.
