	The Ngilu factor
		Her party was used in the run-up to the 2002 General Election to morph into Narc to enable the parties to go into the polls as a single opposition force.
		The Democratic Party, in a letter signed by David Mwiraria, said the party favoured "individual and corporate membership", a move that left Ngilu in a vulnerable position.
		Ngilu, unlike other coalition partners, had changed her party NPK’s name to the National Alliance Party of Kenya (NAK) to accommodate the Democratic Party, Ford Kenya and a host of other parties as there was little time to register a political party in time for the December 2002 General Election.

	The Head Heeb: Eating their own (Kenya edition)
		Kenya's ruling National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) is once again on the verge of breakup after its largest member, the Liberal Democratic Party, threatened to block elections for delegates to an upcoming party congress.
		The LDP secretary-general, who fears that his party will lose influence to a central organization, has vowed to "reject any attempt to make Narc a monolithic party with individual membership," even to the extent of blocking intra-party elections on the ground.
		If her party and the LDP officially break with NARC, then the latter will be transformed from the ruling coalition to the second-largest bloc in a hung parliament, rendering Kibaki a lame-duck president and potentially paving the way for KANU to return to power.

		The LDP is the largest party in NARC, holding 59 of the coalition's 125 seats.
		This often happens to broad coalitions that are formed in order to defeat an entrenched ruling party; they may be able to paper over their policy and personality differences for the duration of an election campaign, but rarely form a coherent whole afterward.

		President Kibaki is unlikely to respond to accusations that the Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) is sabotaging the governing National Rainbow Coalition.
		The reason why the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Ford Kenya have closed ranks is simply that they are growing increasingly frustrated by the President’s failure to address their concerns.
		They accused the DP of arrogance because the party has the Presidency and it is the President who appoints ministers and other key government officials.

		NAK was an alliance of President Mwai Kibaki's Democratic Party, Vice-President Michael Wamalwa's Ford Kenya and Health minister Charity Ngilu's National Party of Kenya plus another 11 minor parties and pressure groups which came together in the General Election.
		NAK was already a registered party and had endorsed Mr Kibaki as its presidential candidate, when influential figures decamping from Kanu after the Uhuru Kenyatta nomination came on board under the aegis of the LDP - Rainbow.
		The Ford Kenya (read western Kenya) element of NAK is also deeply resentful about the makeup of Government, particularly the domination by what is now commonly referred to as the Mount Kenya Mafia.
