It is now a foregone conclusion that the separation between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, is complete. President Kenyatta can take credit for initiating the falling out as he took advantage of his deputy’s missteps and political errors. What was perceived as a joint presidency was novel and unprecedented. Pure presidential political systems have no room for power sharing through coalitions or alliances. The Constitution drafters ignored the realities of Kenya’s political environment and imposed an unworkable legal regime.

So when UhuRuto came to power in 2013, their political reality was that of a shared presidency. In the second term, when Uhuru started easing himself apart from his deputy, many accused him of cutting off the branch on which he was seated. It was widely believed that they were joined at the hip and any attempt to separate them would see them fall. However, the President has proved that he is adept at political hard tackling. He takes no prisoners and suffers no fools in pursuit of his personal political goals. The Jubilee coalition as was conceived is dead. The TNA as Jubilee Party reincarnate is alive and robust.
