Susan Kihika, Kimani Ngunjiri rivalry puts DP William Ruto in dilemma
Moments after the Building Bridges Initiative (Constitutional Amendment) Bill 2020 was declared unconstitutional by the Court of Appeal, the two DP allies issued two contrasting statements.
On her Facebook page Ms Kihika said: "BBI is dead and dusted. My No vote for BBI is vindicated tonight. There is God in heaven, I salute the Judiciary of Kenya."
On his part, Mr Ngunjiri said: “Having been one of the ardent proponents of the BBI process, I believe ODM leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta had good intentions for this country and time will tell.”
But the Bahati legislator, who had been a critic of Mr Odinga praised the ODM leader saying: "Mr Raila Odinga you've tried for this country and history will judge you well."

The fight for the control of the United Democratic Alliance party in Nakuru County by Deputy President William Ruto’s close allies has put the deputy president in a dilemma.
Senator Susan Kihika and Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri, seem to be reading from different scripts and efforts by the deputy president to reconcile the two leaders seem to have hit a snag.
“It's no longer a secret that Mr Ngunjiri and Ms Kihika have failed to agree on the UDA leadership model in Nakuru County and efforts by the DP to end the row have not yielded any fruits,” said a former ally of Mr Ngunjiri.

Moments after the Building Bridges Initiative (Constitutional Amendment) Bill 2020 was declared unconstitutional by the Court of Appeal, the two DP allies issued two contrasting statements.

On her Facebook page Ms Kihika said: "BBI is dead and dusted. My No vote for BBI is vindicated tonight. There is God in heaven, I salute the Judiciary of Kenya."
On his part, Mr Ngunjiri said: “Having been one of the ardent proponents of the BBI process, I believe ODM leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta had good intentions for this country and time will tell.”
Development
He continued: “I feel the process was later hijacked and politicised by the enemies of unity and development in this country. The judges made their ruling because they felt the independence of the Judiciary was threatened by BBI proposals like the creation of the position of a Judiciary Ombudsman."
But the Bahati legislator, who had been a critic of Mr Odinga praised the ODM leader saying: "Mr Raila Odinga you've tried for this country and history will judge you well."
This came days after Mr Odinga made a tour of Nakuru Town in the company of governors Anne Waiguru (Kirinyaga), Lee Kinyanjui (Nakuru) and Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega).

Soon after Mr Odinga’s tour, Mr Ngunjiri met Governor Kinyanjui who will be defending his seat that is also being eyed by Senator.
The meeting between Governor Kinyanjui and Mr Ngunjiri, which the county boss described as a "courtesy call", signalled a big U-turn for the outspoken Bahati MP who has been his critic.
"We discussed issues affecting the people of Bahati and how we will work together to solve them," said Mr Kinyanjui.
He added: "I appreciate the support from Mr Ngunjiri and his promise to work with us for the benefit of Bahati and Nakuru residents."
Gubernatorial race
The new political alliance between Mr Ngunjiri and Governor Kinyanjui may tilt the scale in the 2022 Nakuru County gubernatorial race in favour of the incumbent, considering that Bahati legislator commands a huge following in the region.
"Mr Ngunjiri has been the chairman of Nakuru County MPs for the past eight years and a former chairman of Kanu for 10 years and you cannot ignore his massive grassroots mobilisation skills if he sticks with Governor Kinyanjui ahead of the 2022 elections," said Mr Joe Omondi a political analyst in Nakuru Town.
Mr Joseph Ngugi, a political commentator in Nakuru said Mr Ngunjiri may be on his way back to Jubilee or any other Mount Kenya-backed political party.
"The 'courtesy call' Mr Ngunjiri paid to Mr Kinyanjui is an indication that the two are mending fences and Mr Ngunjiri will probably be more comfortable with Governor Kinyanjui clinching his second term in office rather than see Senator Kihika become the next governor of Nakuru," said Mr Ngugi.

Kalenjin will decide who becomes governor in the 3 counties of Nakuru, Narok and I think Tranzoia. They are 40 percent almost in all the three. Whoever runs on UDA start with 40 percent from kalenjin - who will not fill a candidate- and only needs 10 percent from their Kabila. All susan need to win is mere 1 out of every 5 kikuyus.
This is why Kihika has won it already, Dr Chris Wamalwa is forcing Weta to join Ruto, and Narok's Patrick Ntutu has it - and current governor going for Senate- has won twice by simply getting 10 percent of his own Maasai as Kipisigis provide the 40 percent.
Its the same way Raila determine Mombasa governor - through kavirondo(Luo-Luhya-Gusii) alliance of 40 percent.
The man seems to be formenting grievancea and excuses to leave. I think Ruto favors Kihika dynasty - this "BBI was great but was hijacked" is new excuse to undermine UDA.

Ngunjiri pro-BBI noises are symptoms of UDA problems. UDA Gema is in turmoil. Ngunjiri is a certified native hustler like Kuria and Kiunjuri. This is no longer about him and Kihika - he is PRAISING BBI, Uhuru and Raila.
Another lethal agitator in UDA crosshairs.
Kalenjin will decide who becomes governor in the 3 counties of Nakuru, Narok and I think Tranzoia. They are 40 percent almost in all the three. Whoever runs on UDA start with 40 percent from kalenjin - who will not fill a candidate- and only needs 10 percent from their Kabila. All susan need to win is mere 1 out of every 5 kikuyus.

Pundit - if you watch carefully, you can see UDA Gema problems are just more Ruto leadership failures. Any bigger party than Kalenjin UDM quickly becomes problematic. Kalenjins in UDA are so quiet but Gema iko chida kubwa.

As long as Ruto has the majority of gema people; he will come like the rest pleading for his wheelbarrow. maybe he is just gone to pick a few millions from BBI crew like desperate Nakuru governor.
Ngunjiri pro-BBI noises are symptoms of UDA problems. UDA Gema is in turmoil. Ngunjiri is a certified native hustler like Kuria and Kiunjuri. This is no longer about him and Kihika - he is PRAISING BBI, Uhuru and Raila.

If Ruto can unite 11 sub tribes of Kalenjin - something moi was unable - plus all the other small tribes - GEMA teething problems - will sort itself out. Ruto will not bend over. He will proceed having made a decision to sell UDA. That is strong leadership. The political brokers will run around - and eventually the wananchi will send them scampering for their wheelbarrow.
If 4yrs of frontal attacks has not diminished Ruto - what is the new thing? Ruto has to commit big error to lose mt kenya
Ask Nancy and Uhuru and Kieleweke how much they have spend in mt kenya without any showing.
Hustler Nation message long sunk.

Ruto has not united anyone past Kalenjin. That is wonderful but he has no magic to unite other kabila. The "frontal attacks" were on Uhuru lead by Kurias and Ngunjiris. It is these Ruto generals that have turned against him. That underdog game he played against Uhuru and Raila... he can't play it now.

Ruto doesn't not do retail politics. He does wholesale politics. He excel in propaganda and once its has sunk - then it easy to reap the benefits. Trying to appease every guy who leave you is political retail. But if you concentrate on a message - it become easy. Many in mt kenya have attempted to finish Ruto - but they find hustler nation has already sunk deep - and wananchi want to hear nothing else. They coil their tail and come for their wheelbarrow.
Raila is also good in wholesale politics - but seem he has lost his mojo.
Raila is trying to get momentum post BBI - and his Azimio thing aint working. Last year he sprung a BBI momentum on Ruto - and it worked for quite some time.
Until he find a counter-move post-BBI - Hustler Nation - remain the only wholesale politics that can sell everywhere - otherwise it become difficult to sell message in mt kenya then go to coast and sell a different message
You need to create a political wave or euphoria or a tsunami - Change, MAKA, etc. Raila made a big bet on BBI - it has fallen flat.
