My friend you think Ruto just stood there waiting for the King to disember Jubilee and give it to Raila.
Ruto opened war fronts on NASA
As we speak Ruto got Muthama, Nanok, Weta, MaDVD, Khawales and many NASA luminaries or generals in the last election.
He even got Miguna
of Field Marshal of NASA military wing - the NRM , Ndii - their chief economist, civil society and their intellectual class - lock, barrel and stock.
Even wakina Isaac who gave Raila 30k votes and Sossion - Kalenjin iko ndani yote - apart from West Pokot.
Which is why what Uhuru will take away from Jubilee - Ruto will similarly take from NASA
End of day - we go back to 2013/2017.
Same thing - 45 percent versus 55 percent.
i get the sour grapes but so long as Uhuru is retiring PORK.. he can't lose anything. New PORK will simply fuata nyayo.
But underestimate Uhuru at your own peril. He is the main force behind Azimio juggernaut. He has lined up Yattanis in NEP, Matiang'is in Gusii, Eugene DAP-K.. and obviously Mt Kenya. Without him Ruto would be in SH, but now it a literal mountain to climb.
Keen historians (like Pundit ) will note how daring the "naked king" single-handedly torpedoed Ruto chances.
