Before Kiambaa - I would say RUto needed to appoint strong mt kenya candidate like Kiunjuri - who'd prove to GEMA he was not a poddle.
Right now Mt kenya have entered UDA directly - front door - sio backdoor.
They are ready for anything - liwe liwalo - so Ruto can decide to make anybody in Mt kenya DPORK
That is why Kiunjuri should simply fold camp and run to UDA -
his OWN PEOPLE HAVE oVERTAKEN HIM - while they were overtaking Uhuru kenyatta,Politics is dynamic.
In 2007 Kalenjin overtook its leaders and said RAILA TOSHA - Kalenjin were so angry with Kibaki they were looking for his anti-dote - the man Kibaki would hate - and Raila was the man.
Ruto and kalenjin leaders were in Kalonzo corner.
When they saw Kalenjin were ahead - they quickly went and lead them to Raila. Raila of course knew this and let kiburi enter his head...in 2010 by thinking he could go directly to the people.
What happened in Juja was good for Kiunjuri but Kiambaa - UDA entered Mt kenya directly - and Ruto enjoy Mt kenya support DIRECT - no proxy.
Kiunjuri should fold up - Ruto should avoid Kiburi. Mt kenya are so angry with UhuRaila - they do not want to hear about sijui long detour to punish Uhuru-Raila - they want it NOW.
Raila doesnt have NASA'; stop believing in your own propaganda.
Ruto can easily make up with Uhuru; before Kalonzo and MaDVD accept Raila.
First, no Ruto cannot appoint random Wanjiku as DPORK. In fact he will have to let them square out in UDA primaries to avoid big fallout. Second his runningmate MUST be Gema - which denies him leeway to string Mdvds without ideological somersault. He has boxed himself by rejecting BBI as dynasty project.
Raila ALREADY HAS NASA in his corner. The noises are just positioning. Their strategy is to corner their respective tribal cocoons - so everyone must pretend to run for PORK - to keep Kamba or Luhya hopeful. Worked like a charm in recent by-elections. This is the blunder Kiunjuri fool made - running to be runningmate - which has let lazy Uhuru keep 50% easy. Muturi approach is better. DPORK doesn't excite people so Kalonzo and Mdvd and Muturis will run for PORK until April 2022 - when they will meet at Kasarani or State House or Uhuru Park - and announce BBI lineup.
BBI lineup is well known.
It quite simple. If Raila is not backed by anybody; he will struggle to get to 20 percent. Ruto will probably struggle to get to 50 percent without a merger.
Raila is not in Ruto league. Ruto people are just edging him so he can run....and make their work in Mt kenya easy.
Raila MUST have Kalonzo, MaDVD, Weta and Uhuru to be competitive.
Ruto nope - he can even today wake up - and appoint random Wanjiku in Mt kenya - and still get to 50 percent of national vote.
Ruto has the core of Jubilee - more or less - the hard work outside GEMA is to deal with turn out and fallout - otherwise he is starting from Jubilee 55 percent - lameduck if he want to take a few - Ruto is busy filling it outside GEMA.
Raila while he was busy in Jubilee - forget to keep NASA united. Big blunder. First get Kaloi. That should take you to 30 percent. Then maDVD should take you to 40 percent. Then Weta to 45 percent.
I am saying: Ruto hardwork and genius - is no more potent or "dangerous" - than Raila Handshake & BBI card. All those big fish run from dangerous Ruto to Raila cause he strings them along. If he was not smart - Ruto would have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you agree the race is open - then you agree neither Ruto nor Raila has managed to close the deal.
Unless you really believe Ruto is "sleepwalking to PORK" which is just silly.
