From talking to regular kenyans, there's something ruto is missing and he is underestimating the DEEP anger towards him and his regime. Actually, most of ruto's allies are hated.
How this will all play out in 2027 remains to be seen, but I hope ruto doesn't try to rig in 2027 because if he does, given the anger levels, the country will explode into violence and the US and Britain will be forced to step in like they did in 2007.
Although kenya remains a poverty stricken African country, ruto needs to be careful. Kenya is important to East and Central africa and to many of america's security needs within the region and if ruto pushes it too far in terms of killing kenyans, he will be removed and sent back to the ICC>
African leaders always seem to forget that the west rules the world militarily. The west africans discovered this when the French airforce showed up and started bombing them. The north africans have discovered this and if ruto is not careful, he'll discover it also, but hopefully, the kenyan military is not as stupid as the west african militaries and they'll remove ruto before they get bombed.
