"Common sense dictates that when you are in a coalition, you need to work together as a team," Kiunjuri said.

The Service Party (TSP) leader Mwangi Kiunjuri now wants the Kenya Kwanza Alliance team led by Deputy President William Ruto to include all parties in the running of affairs.

In a statement on Tuesday, Kiunjuri lamented that they have been ignored in party affairs, something he said will not work well for Ruto's presidential bid.

"The emerging conflicts, sibling rivalry, protection of territory and attention-seeking are of concern as this could easily resort into unwanted consequences of our presidential candidate within Kenya Kwanza if not well managed," Kiunjuri stated.

According to Kiunjuri, the DP is seemingly presenting an image in broad daylight that he is in a coalition but at night he portrays a different image.

He urged the Kenya Kwanza team to recognise all leaders and ensure they are involved in the running of party affairs since they are the ones who invited them to the coalition.

"Common sense dictates that when you are in a coalition, you need to work together as a team. You cannot pretend during the day that you are in a coalition and at night you are not in a coalition. It is very clear if you invite me to your home, I am your guest. You cannot pretend I am not your guest. All we are saying is. let's not pretend."

Kiujuri, however, maintained that they will continue drumming support for Deputy President William Ruto.

He said they have rolled out a 30-day campaign program that will run parallel to that of Kenya Kwanza.

Kiunjuri's TSP party is one of the constituent parties making up the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
