Yes initially I was skeptical on strategy but my intuition was right. Uhuru after re-election had no more use of WSR. I later understood the logic behind strong coupling with GEMA. It was to make it hard in fact for Uhuru to betray Ruto. WSR definitely a political genius...he has handled the political betrayal like a boss..
And definitely Ruto lost 5yrs of power sharing by folding URP - but if he wins in 3 months - his strategy would have paid off.
Many who wanted URP retained - and for another coalition agreement in 2017 - would be wrong. They included Isaac Ruto and Alfred Keters whose intuition was to distrust GEMA elite.
A risk he took and paid off....
I give to you RV , you can see ahead but falls short of being wise.
Ruto was wise took the chance and it paid off. He is now GEMAs candidate.
WSR would be taking a big risk in coupling URP with TNA ; this is same situation we had in ODM; it retrogressive; WSR has yet to understand that this is not a love affair or friendship; he need to insure against all sort of liabilities; mostly GEMA not repaying his loyality and trust.
Trust but verifty.
Plan A sounds great. 10-10. But do we have a Plan B.
