Even Keiyos are not going to vote him - part from few ultra nationalist. Isaac Ruto tried that Kispisigis nationalism - and he saw fire. Now before he speaks - he has to clear the air that he support william Ruto - then he can speak. Buzeki tiff with Ruto is his undoing. People are not going to want to be part of his nasty fight. He is only assured of Luo votes - otherwise Kikuyus and Keiyos - will vote UDA.
He should have learn from Koti Moja - who has opposed Ruto for donkey years - but was smart to reconcile with Ruto before embarking on governorship - now that KANU old geezer is set to win.
Yes, I follow Julius Rutto campaigns in the villages of Burnt forest, Timboroa, Rironi, kiambaa, rurigi and okuyu remote towns in Uasin Gishu and are embracing him. Mishra tried playing Nandi supremacy na yeye ni punjab but real Nandi guy played national politics and that is where Mishra entered grass( Chuut susweek). On the other hand Buzeki hides his wife like bhangi and people don't appreciate that. Campaign kama mkenya and all people will embrace that instead of conforming to a certain group!
Buzeki still has a chance if he campaigns for Ruto fully, instead of himself. The ground is not really feeling Koti Moja like that except Mandago area and pockets of UG. Hii UDA suit is propelling Koti Moja because people are talking about covering the nose and voting for him just because. Buzeki made a colossal blunder, but he'd be a better county manager than old mzee. Poor strategy kabisa! UG, unlike the rest of Kalenjin counties, can elect any Kalenjin, whether kipsigis, Keiyo, Naandi, Tugen, or wherever. From late Chesire Tugen to Kamar/Boss shollei, which are Keiyos. Kipchumba Murkomen could have easily won had he thrown his hat in UG politics.
