Ruto is just buying time, his presidency is done and he knows it. I know by 2027 Raila will be out of this skunk and running again, he is already trying to wiggle himself out. He will convince the idiots that he at least was able to force a coalition government and therefore will keep his base of coast, Luo Nyanza and western. A third force will emerge around the Gen Z voters who are the majority in Kenya. Ruto with his Kale votes will not even make it to second round. The only way out for Ruto is rigging, he doesn’t have enough time to cause any significant economic changes that will directly affect Kenyans.
