Mutual suspicion between TNA and URP will stall Jubilee merger

As we inch closer to the March 31 deadline to merge Jubilee coalition parties, I am convinced this deal may come a cropper sooner rather than later. If it goes to fruition, it is unlikely to stop creation of new parties in the Jubilee strongholds.

There just aren’t sufficient grounds, and the will, for the merger to hold, especially between the two major outfits, TNA and URP, dominated by two major tribes. The TNA brigade thinks the new vehicle is being crafted for the use of the Deputy President, and do not seem inclined towards it.
