Yesterday the DP said early succession talk about changing the Constitution — and creating a powerful PM — was misplaced. He spoke as Turkana Governor Josphat Nanok said, “During the last election, Turkana people were not with you. But this time we are working with other Rift Valley communities to have one voice on leadership.”
Speaking during a thanksgiving ceremony for Trade PS Chris Kiptoo at Chepkosom Primary School in Uasin Gishu, Ruto said the Uhuru-Raila cooperation pact was aimed at uniting the country.
“It's the Kenyan people who have the mandate to elect leaders of their choice. There's no way a few individuals in Parliament can have the responsibility of electing people to powerful positions," Ruto said.
The DP said Kenyans should not misinterpret the ongoing handshakes as avenues to share or create seats for some individuals.
“Politics is behind us. The next election will be in 2022. It’s therefore time we focus our energies in serving the people who elected us,” Ruto said.

Ruto seems to be in panic mode. You know this because not too long ago he was so secure about his position that he was telling others not to talk about 2022. Now he is the one running around campaigning as if the elections are being held in six months. It appears that he can nolonger rely on Plan A and is now working on Plan B.

That right there explains why they have dismantled JEBC. Only a revolution can save this country. Unfair and unjust elections are nothing but a waste of time. 2022 will be won by those controlling EBC

We have more than 4 years to go till elections in 2022. What Nanok says today will be worth nothing in 2022. The man is on his last tenure as governor and will soon be needing another job.

Just delude yourself - KAMATUSA yote - plus Northern Kenya (somali+borana+related) - is firmly in Ruto corner. Next battle is in the coast - and if Ruto wins the coast - and I don't see any reason why he won't - then Ruto will start 2022 race with 30-35% of the country - without any GEMA vote factored in. All these gains are of course at expense of Raila's ODM - which is now slowly becoming a LUO only party. The icing on the cake - there is no pre-eminent successor of Uhuru in GEMA - so Ruto will take GEMA yote after Uhuru picks his man as Deputy President. In the meantime I think Luhyas will finally unite under MaDVD+Weta and Kambas will split into 3 - Wiper/Mutua/Jubilee.
In short Ruto already has one leg inside statehouse.
