Most VPs and kingmakers never make it. Consider Moi or Kibaki are exceptions among Jaramogi, Murumbi, Njonjo, Dr Karanja, Saitoti, Mdvd, Kijana Wamalwa, Uncle Moody, Kalonzo. Mobutu has snowball in hell chance.. obviously he lacks Moi strategic patience and wisdom. The curse of the kingmaker is global and historical phenomenon - since Emperor Julius Caesar days - almost scientific as gravity - it not a nipate invention.
About "Gema hate Raila"... not very different from "they are playing Raila" and other spin.
Uhuru lost in 2002 because of the interference from an outgoing president in the elections, him repeating the same mistake is farfetched it would be naive of him politically and at a personal level.
Now its also evident he fell out with Ruto because of BBI.
Uhuru having settled on the fact that he wouldnt leave a legacy he did an about turn and thought changing structure of the constitution through a referendumn would be a noble idea. Just like Kibaki 2010 inaguration of the new constitution he would be remembered for something.
However beyond BBI forget Uhuru trying to influence anything politically. He is on record on TV saying he would prefer having holidays in France.
Why Railas brigade here see Uhuru in their political equtions is upon them. Pure madness if I may say and just incase Uhuru ends up supporting Raila it doesnt necessarily translate to GEMA votes.
Gema hate Raila just as Luo Nyanza hate Ruto. GEMA has never forgiven Raila for 2007 PEV. Same as Luo Nyanza has never forgiven Ruto for 2013 election loss.
In Kenyas situation out of 4 Presidents 2 are former VPs. Mathematically that tells tou alot.
And GEMA hate Raila ,thinking otherwise is just not only being naive but self deceit.
Its well known that the love Ruto is getting now is just Railas hate in disguise. You see now why your are always wrong in your predictions
