A section of Coast politicians in the Opposition appear to have closed ranks with government and their counterparts in Jubilee after a spell of a frosty relationship.

Jubilee started by reaching out to ODM officials like Gideon Mung’aro who have in their actions literally defected from the party. And now even the fiercest government critics like Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho appear to have toned down their rhetoric against the Jubilee administration.
