Kalonzo holds the key to NASA’s leadership quest

The National Super Alliance (NASA), the political juggernaut that could sweep Jubilee out of power, smells blood in the water. Everyone knows there’s acute indigestion in the house that Jubilee leaders Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto built.

Kanu, a growing powerhouse in the Rift Valley, could undercut Mr Ruto’s value to Jubilee. The menace of the International Criminal Court, which brought Mr Kenyatta and Ruto together, is history. Simply put the duo has no compelling emotion to sell to the Kelenjin and Kikuyu. Their record in office in the last four years has been dismal. Even so, they have the advantage of incumbency. But they’ve panicked. Their only hope of retaining power is putting NASA asunder.
