President Uhuru Kenyatta locked out his deputy William Ruto from the Madakara Day programme on Wednesday and fired salvos at the DP.
For the first time since their election in 2013, Ruto was not allowed to address the gathering of 30,000, though he was very much present, wearing bright yellow sash, a state award.
The DP made a brief mild statement later on Facebook, saying, "We are the makers of this nation, let us choose a path of progress, unity and prosperity."
The head of state made a pitch for Azimio presidential aspirant Raila Odinga and strongly endorsed his running mate, Martha Karua, and women's leadership.
