Battle lines between Jubilee and CORD drawn, who’ll laugh last?

NAIROBI: Arguably, the Jubilee coalition brigade has no beef with the Opposition. Essentially, judging by the intensity of political activities in the recent past, the predominantly pro-opposition areas have been receiving a lot of attention from Jubilee as it covets their support in 2017 to demonstrate it was not simply catapulted to the zenith of the country’s leadership by what some people in 2013 believed, from where they stood, was a biased Supreme Court.

President Uhuru Kenyatta spent an entire month at the Coast; whether as the President discharging his national duties or the leader of the Jubilee coalition trying to break CORD’s stranglehold is not clear. Nonetheless, there were loud grumbles on matters of land, and an upcoming bi-election in Malindi.
