Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga brace for battle ahead

Parliament Majority Leader Adan Duale is among the team set to spearhead Jubilee campaign.

Kenya: Rivalry between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga took a steeper plunge Tuesday with reports that the Head of State had tasked a group of Jubilee leaders to get down to the grassroots and help crush the clamour for a referendum.

In what rekindles memories of the political fights between former President Kibaki and Raila, then his key ally in National Rainbow Coalition, culminating in the defeat of the Government in the 2005 referendum and setting tempo for 2007 big race, Uhuru and Raila appeared to be headed in the same course.
