Here we go again - Ruto did not beat Moi in Kalenjin - Moi was 10 years from retirement and senile at 88. It akin to "beating" Kibaki in GEMA now - which is nonsense cause he is long retired and senile. What really aided Ruto was TIME - Moi simply aged and withered away - and Gideon incompetence. In 2002 90% Kalenjin, MATUSA, Mijikenda, NFD, Kiambu voted Uhuru-Moi. So save it - there are almost ZERO parallels between Mt Kenya and Uhuru vs Kalenjin and Moi.
Another lie again about Ruto imaginary magic. During Raila vs Ruto war for Kalenjin, Ruto was aided and used by Kibaki and GEMA to fight Raila. So Ruto appeared mighty and smart while in truth he was used by Kibaki and Uhuru. Now Uhuru and GEMA are using Raila to fight Ruto. There is nothing outstanding about Ruto as you can see he is no match for Uhuru machinery. He won't even go to court because Uhuru can brazenly intimidate the judges ala SCORK 2017 presidential re-run.
About "revolt" in Mt Kenya. Ruto needs 90% GEMA to stand a chance against Raila. All those elites and big fish against Ruto are not delusional and will equally influence their people. Most MPs are actually passive and will not ship with Ruto to hustler party. Only a handful of MPs stick out their neck for Ruto - the rest sign protest letter and never even show up at rallies. Njuri and Pundit have very wishful thinking - jaundiced views and blinkers - it is very hard to leave Jubilee with GEMA, Matusa, Bukusu and shebang without Uhuru and GoK cronyism. PORK has too many cards. It why Ruto bought off and merged all those parties - to create mean machine - which has imploded as Pundit et al buried their heads in the sand last 2 years. Class vs tribalism is new experiment that Ruto can try out... against Raila "integrity" or "inclusion" - both are usual tribalism in gift wrapping.
Lastly if Ruto back Raila...
that would be very good for Kenya - because his corrupt ways will take a back seat for another 10 or more years. Someone openly corrupting the clergy is a bad omen for the nation. But that is actually stupid and unlikely - Ruto is better off as official opposition leader which is a better chance for future stub at PORK.
GEMA will regret mightly if they don't reject Uhuru like Kalenjin did eventually to Moi - because Uhuru has decided to throw caution to the wind and start a war he won't finish. But it's very good war because GEMA has needed this - like Kalenjin needed to kick Moi and his group of selected elites. Ruto era gave Kalenjin new lease of life - and now it easy for 20yr old unknown person to be a governor.
GEMA has to reject what Uhuru is doing - otherwise, they are being driven into a very bad place - because the Luos will exact their revenge - while Kalenjin will be unforgiving. You don't open two war fronts - and you picked Gideon Moi to lead you .If GEMA elite were to play Ruto - Ruto will easily bid his time (54yrs) - he is very young and will back Raila.
What is going to happen is MAD - mutually assured destruction - and right now only the GEMA laity revolution against the selfish elite will save it.
