When the Jubilee regime was taking its baby steps in 2013, it was possible for party MPs to declare love for the President and Deputy President. To love the President was to love the DP, without creating animus between the two. As Majority leader he ranked himself third, after the President and the DP, in the power perking order. Perhaps out mercy or love for an excited subordinate, neither Uhuru nor Ruto dared him to take that suicidal leap. There has since been a sea of change in Jubilee power relations.
