-As Raila schemes to cut down Ruto in Northeastern – a region he largely controlled in the last two elections – President Uhuru Kenyatta is edging him out of Central Kenya.

-On Wednesday last week, Raila co-chaired with Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani a night-long meeting bringing together leaders from Isiolo and Marsabit counties whom they convinced to defect from the Ruto camp.

-Raila has also managed to woo majority of the governors from the Northern region to back his course.

-Former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Farah Maalim noted that by 2022, Ruto will be a stranger in the Muslim pastoralist communities.

Look like the usual kanu and odm suspects

Ruto presidential stock has taken a beating in the last one week. Uhuru coming out as against Ruto will have a big ripple effect in Ruto political sphere.  Chances for Ruto being PORK I would put it at  20% down from 25%. Ruto is isolated and the dynasties have ganged up against him. He is outgunned and exposed best thing would be to surrender or front a candidate who would scatter the dynasties and live to fight another day.

Will the anti-Ruto camp agree on one candidate? If Ruto is facing Raila - there is no change.

There was lots of synergy wit Uhuruto deal. Ruto was the clear front-runner. Folks back the winning horse. Seem the CSs work for Raila now.

Ruto is still the frontrunner. By far. Unless the two-spoilt brats who think they own Kenya manage to amend constitution THEN and Only then will dynamics change. And for change constitution to make a difference to Uhuru, he must convince his base Mt. Kenya to be with him. Any other way and his political clout is done.

And Yea... CSs now even brief Raila. He's like President. He wields some power albeit not officially. And how's he using his power/influence?

He is using Yattani to edge out Ruto from NFD. I am not sure where Ruto dominant outside RV. Lots of hangers-on are deserting him.

You are allergic to reality. Ati Ruto will beat Uhuru in Gema... you would have to suspend gravity first.

Ruto looks cowed and deadbeat.

The body blows are starting to slow him down a little bit. Its just a matter of time.

Ruto looks cowed and deadbeat.
