In the post, Murathe appeared to accuse members linked to the Democracy for Citizens Party of working with UDA to frustrate Jubilee Party efforts in the crucial contest.
His remarks have quickly fueled tension among opposition supporters, with some leaders accusing rivals of betrayal and secret political dealings.
The statement has also intensified debate over loyalty within parties seeking to challenge President William Ruto’s influence in the Mt Kenya region.
The Ol Kalou mini poll is already attracting national attention because of the growing competition between established parties and emerging political movements.
Leaders from different camps have been traversing the constituency in a bid to secure support before campaigning officially enters the final stretch.
Supporters allied to DCP dismissed Murathe’s claims and argued that the accusations were meant to weaken confidence in the party ahead of the vote.
Others within Jubilee insisted that internal sabotage could hand UDA an easy victory if unity is not restored quickly.
With only weeks remaining before voters head to the ballot, political temperatures in Ol Kalou continue to rise.
