Jubilee Party leaders are talking tough — they want to dislodge ODM from political supremacy in the Coast region. The rebranded Jubilee Party was officially launched in Mombasa to epitomise its determination to win Coast in 2017. Despite Jubilee’s determination to dislodge ODM and Cord from the Coast, the impact is yet to be felt. The other factor stymieing JP’s inroads into the Coast region is the perception that the party does not support devolution — the key tenet of Coast politics. This means that if Jubilee Party leaders want support from the Coast, they must publicly play the devolution card.
