President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto will not seek re-election on the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP), less than a year after the party was formed.
The two and a host of their allies had made it clear that JAP was their party of choice for the 2017 General Election while calling for dissolution of Jubilee affiliate parties. But a series of mistrust, suspicions and wrangling among members of the governing coalition has led to the proposal for a new outfit, Jubilee Party of Kenya (JPK), by December.
