President Uhuru Kenyatta has signalled his determination to contest for a second term in the 2017 polls under the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP).
The President’s assertion is the strongest indication yet that both The National Party (TNA) and United Republican Party (URP) might be on their deathbed as individual entities. President Uhuru’s TNA and Deputy President William Ruto’s URP are the main parties in the governing coalition, although there are other smaller parties like Alliance Party of Kenya (APK), New Ford Kenya and Grand National Union.
