Regional political parties have sprung back to life in the Mt Kenya stronghold of Jubilee, indicating an attempt to establish inevitable fall back strategies.

The naming of former Transport Principal Secretary Irungu Nyakera as the Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) deputy party leader and the entry of Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria into its fold, signal a determined push by some of the strongest allies of Deputy President William Ruto in the area to register new parties.
