By CHARLES ONYANGO-OBBOMore by this AuthorFor several months recently, Kenya’s ruling Jubilee was in the news as it gobbled up small parties to form the Jubilee Party. Now the opposition looks likely to coalesce around a big-tent rival thing that Musalia Mudavadi has proposed should come together under the banner of the National Super Alliance. Barring a mega surprise, President Uhuru Kenyatta has the nomination of Jubilee Party in the bag. If the National Super Alliance materialises, or even if it does not and Cord remains outside it, it seems it is there that we might see a contest. They will feature candidates sponsored by or allied to the governing big-tent ruling party in Nairobi and a nativist local party of the governor.
