My friend Gachaguas and maDVD WILL NOT ALLOW post-election deal with potential future rival.
This is exact fate that befall maDVD in 2013.
Ruto made it clear to UHURU that maDVD was out of question - as he would bring competition in Jubilee.
But he okayed Wamalwa to be brought in.
Wamalwa was roped in for post election deal.
In fact Ruto is likely to do post-coalition deal with dying Raila than give a lifeline to Kalonzo - SIASA NI KUMALIZANA
Kalonzo has really two options
1) Join Ruto now - and get foreign ministry - and another CS - plus few appointments.
2) Join Raila - and go hunting again - this time even worse as non DPORK - this could lead to problems in ukambani - but again like Kijana Wamalwa discovered in 1994 - Luos will not return favour - Kidero will emerge as next Luo kingpin as he will be serving his last term as Homabay governor and is monied.
Third option that he is trying to pull or force a run-off - but OKA needed to be united - maDVD+Weta have made runoff out of the table.
So if he takes third option - he is going to end up lonely - but will definitely retain Ukambani 3 counties.
I can see the change of heart, Joining Ruto is better than Joining Raila . However refer to 2008 If Mudavadi and Wetangula bring less votes that Kalonzo gets he will have an upper doing a Post Coalition deal.
I still maintain he should run.
