Jubilee’s top decision-making organs on Tuesday approved a pre-election deal with ODM as details emerged on the intrigues preceding the coalition. The Star has learnt Jubilee preferred ODM after a technical evaluation of the four opposition parties—ODM, Wiper, ANC and Ford Kenya. It was self-evident that of the four parties, ODM has the strongest grassroots presence," a Jubilee insider told the Star. ODM boasts 94 MPs in the bicameral Parliament, followed by Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper with 27 members in both Senate and National Assembly. Also present were Jubilee parliamentary group secretary Adan Keynan, Senate Deputy Majority leader Fatuma Dullo, among other party officials.
