Two birds in bush better than one bird at hand seem to be your maxim.
When Ruto wins - maDVD become chief minister and finance minister - possibly 1/4 of gov- plus he is getting downpayment.
Now you're telling him to sit this out - and wait for Ruto to blunder in the future?
What if he doesnt blunder
Besides nothing stops maDVD from disembarking from Ruto anytime.
Ruto has successfully rebranded as UDA and left Jubilee mess with Raila.
Madvd and Kalonzo have two options - make coalition now or force a run off - make the coalition later with either Raila or Ruto.
Now the next question is what would they get from Azimio and UDA - definitely not DPORK
So the next available is 1/3 - of the gov and fake Prime Minister like Matiangi.
MaDVD rushed for a deal - because if that 1/3 get off the table - the next available offer is worse - maybe a handshake like Raila got - zero minister just chair of football affairs.
MaDVD made the right decision to overtake Kalonzo and make a deal - he has less votes than Kalonzo - but got himself a great deal - piggy bagging on the little maragoli vote. It's brilliant move.
Here am with you 100%.
MM is dumb. He did not think twice before jumping into this one sided marriage. He acted out of emotions. He would have been the heir apparent with Ruto as president or in the opposition. If Ruto becomes president, he will have no meanful opponent. That would have been MM's chance as Ruto's presidency willl just be mdomo and lots of looting. The Mt Kenya base singing Ruto juu today will be crying in 2 years.
