In Coast Rutos plan is simple . Once Uhuru who is the boogeyman (Kenyaatta to Coast is akin to Raila in Mt Kenya ) in Coast is out of picture his plan is just to harvest . You saw what happened in Msambweni .
Ruto will edge out Raila in all Coast Counties except Mombasa where Luo Diaspora is the majority followed by Mijikenda .
going into details of 2017 Coast General election results Refer below
COUNTY REGISTERED UHURU RAILA
MOMBASA 580,223 99,508 238,943
KWALE 281,041 43,812 138,664
KILIFI 508,068 49,693 273,852
TANARIVER 118,327 24,225 24,423
LAMU 69,776 24,225 24,423
TAITA TAVETA 155,716 31,158 79,832
Its very evident when they say the junk of the meat is with Kilifi and Mombasa - Now Kilifi as we speak Ruto has edged Raila out and worst case scenario they will split 50% and Mombasa Majority of Mijikenda will vote for Ruto .
Taita Taveta where Uhuru owns half of the land and hence have always voted against him will revert back to Ruto with a majority appoximately 70 % save for the Kambas living in the midst .
Lamu and Tanariver thats without a question Ruto will take and Kwale if we go Kilifis way of 50/50 There you have it , Ruto takes Coast .
Now when all the political pundits focus on Mt Kenya , They forget where Raila share of vote will decrease in 2022 from 2017 . This is how we calculated Jubilees win prior to election . Incomparison between 2013 and 2017 Strategy was to Increase UhuRutos share of the vote in more of the most populous counties, increase UhuRutos share of the vote in more counties than Raila, Higher Turnout in Jubilees stronghold and make it a two horse race and eat into previously Mudavadi/P.K./ votes .
Pundit & Noway - about pwani, what is Ruto plan? He is there often but Mvurya and Kingi give him a wide berth. No traction after small Msambweni excitement.
There is no mass defection to UDA anywhere outside Kalenjin. Pwani is one of the most obvious failures.
