A political death has occurred in the midst of this coronavirus crisis, and the cause is not related to the pandemic. The Jubilee Party, or JP as it was known among its friends, is dead. Some people are in grief, some are in denial, and many are in celebration. But no one is truly surprised.
This is the fate of Kenyan political coalitions; their lifespans are shorter than any given political cycle. Not a single alliance has lived to see the next election. So why would JP be the exception?
