Published on January 6, 2020, a secret party in Mt Kenya has been formed ahead of Jubilee's predicted death, sources have revealed.

The Service Party (TSP) has been registered at the Registrar of Political Parties, with plans to register the party starting in July 2018.

TSP, a development-oriented party, will have the red and yellow colours like Jubilee and has already established offices in 29 counties.

The party's symbol and interim leadership are in place, and TSP hopes to gain from the fallout from the Jubilee Party grassroots elections slated for March this year.

According to sources, a section of Mt Kenya politicians asked Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri to help form a party that will cater for the needs of the region, speaking at Naramoru in Nyeri County.

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has stated that Central Kenya will leave Jubilee before the 2022 elections.

Reports of the formation of another outfit in Mt Kenya will be a huge blow to Deputy President William Ruto, who is hoping to keep the party intact ahead of the general elections.
