Two key supporters of Deputy President William Ruto have said the coalition talks between the ruling Jubilee Party and the Orange Democratic Movement will flop. They challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta to name his preferred successor after the coalition so that they know who will challenge their candidate at the election next year. Kositany said the removal of Ruto allies from Jubilee and from leadership positions in Parliament was part of a systematic plan to cut the DP's influence. The Ruto allies said they were ready to face off against anyone who would be supported by Uhuru during next year’s polls.
