I do not think so.Ruto ICC case is over from prosecution end...they are basically closing down their case. Land case..sounds more wishful than based on real facts. It more of gema scare-grow without any basis.
WSR find himself is conundrum...just like any other politician up there...in a very tribal chess board...where you've basically moved nearly all the pawns and the knights..and what remain are kings and queens.Nobody is having easy...Uhuru maybe..but i think for Raila, Ruto and Kalonzo..the rest are jokers...they've made all the moves...
In less plain english..what are WSR option going forward to me are 3...support Uhuru in another 5yr plan and try to keep Uhuru to hold his bargain....ran alone and hope he beats Raila to get second round with Uhuru...Ran alone and come 3rd..support the winner...or well end up in opposition.
If i was advising Ruto i would tell him to keep all the options open....where he has screwed up is by taking down on Keters/Isaac/Zakayos who are pursuing options beyond the plan A (UhuRuto)....he is also screwing up by focusing on Raila the person..in instead of Raila the constituency (he need to continue to try win over coast and areas where raila remain popular).He has weaken himself and is busy demolishing his leverage by overplaying the loyalty thing.
What are Raila or Kalonzo..their best plan will be to hold CORD coalition and winning over Amani..and give it another try. Their hardest part is to keep their coalition intact. Where do they move....to get crucial numbers..from 44% to 60%..6% of constituency. The referendum is it does come will be harbinger.
Ruto is screwed whichever way he goes. If he stays loyal like you are suggesting, he will be fried in 2022 - if he manages to reach there. There are already multiple threats facing him. The ICC is still within the power of GoK to influence negatively. The many land cases which Kibaki helped him overcome can come up. so the guy is a private sent to fetch cigarettes for his General and finds himself in the centre of a minefield and can not retrace his steps either way.
His option is to go for MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) in the belief that he will come out better. His constituency is divided and unlikely to follow him unless he offers some kind of nuclear solution. Otherwise he could choose to make more money like he will never do ever and then watch Jubilee lose or rig elections in 2017 then be retired in 2022
