Ruto will control senate and parliament directly through UDA. Let assume that Raila has won. He would have two options - buy individual mps daily to support gov agenda - COK2010 is a beast that require parliament to approve everything including cabinet.
Now tell me how Raila with say 140mps versus Ruto 210Mps (UDA likely to get 180mps) will govern or appoint gov minister or name it. The same for senate - about 37 senators against 30.
In short Raila winning PORK ni ndoto ya mchaana - governing is almost impossible.
This election will break 57% to 42% - in Pork/MP/Senate.
Even if it's rigged - Ruto would still win.
It's called RETIREMENT. The rest is just conjecture and fitina, Uhuru knows best about his interests.
About handshake 3... I don't bet anything against Mdvd's abandoning Ruto in a blink. UDA in victory will be ANC or CCP. In loss will be ODM 2008 full of squabbles.
