The recently formed unity between the government and the opposition that came about following the famous handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga is set to be tested after ODM mocked Jubilee Party hours after Deputy President William Ruto's interview on NTV Sunday night.
The Raila-led ODM Party took issue with a tweet posted by the official Jubilee Party handle where they defended Ruto despite NTV's efforts to humiliate the DP and claimed they were the largest party in Kenya.
"It is unfortunate that Mark Masai and the rest of the estate is pushing for Jubilee to die. It is shocking, surprising and somewhat sobering. The concept of Jubilee is a party that outlives individuals and is more of ideas and principles," Jubilee also tweeted.
Sarcastic response
The declaration by the Jubilee Party that they are the largest party in Kenya seemed to have rubbed the Orange Party the wrong way which led to a prompt response by ODM who sarcastically took a swipe at their rivals.

They posed a question to their followers asking how could a party which called itself the largest in Kenya yet they did not have structures and branch offices leave alone the National office.
"You pay your staff like casuals. It is a mockery to the NAME, Political Party," ODM tweeted back.
