There is something bothering me.
Ruto was "given" Western and Nyanza while Uhuru has given himself Ukambani, Kisii and Pwani.
Ruto's game plan is that whether Jubilee wins this time or not, his eyes are on 2022. He intends to groom a Luhya candidate and run for office with him since he knows the will not get Kikuyu votes. We heard that Jubilee operative (=Kikuyus) had got wind of that and they were very angry) and then today happens. Today was a huge setback for Ruto.
What is surprising is that CORD has issued very clear instructions that Jubilee shall not be hindered in CORD zones unless we get hindered in Jubilee or contested zones. Then we see youth dropped in town and they start shouting and heckling. The Police are standing by and do nothing.
My take is that this is internal Jubilee politics. CORD has nothing to gain from harassing Ruto. The official line has been to completely ignore Ruto and never attack him. But focus all attacks on Uhuru Kenyatta. It is Uhuru to be demonized so today is a deviation from that strategy. We get no votes shouting Ruto's name but for every time we shout Uhuru's name there are five to ten solid votes.
BTW do you notice that there is something seriously wrong below
