15yrs out of power doing the same thing!
First what makes Kalonzo thing Mt kenya with say 25% of the vote will accept to Deputize Kalonzo (10%)
They can as well deputize Ruto and wait for 2032.
They deputize Kalonzo - let even assume they WIN (very very UNLIKELY) - and then same debacle - and now next time you remove Kaloi if he wins is 2037?
Raila has better brain. You have a deal now. You have 2027 make-belief deal.
If I was Kalonzo - I would have talked to Ruto with Raila.
Now he has second chance - RIggyG is gone and DPORK is vacant. Raila is sorted in AU (at least for 3yrs - he can resign and comeback in 2027).
In Azimio remember he wasnt even DPORK.
Now he should be running to Ruto and trying to overtake Kindiki. Ruto would likely find him better candidate - than Kindiki - who is useless in Mt kenya -- though I doubt he want to cut off Mt kenya this early - but he can do it.
3yrs - he gets RiggyG 10B - stashed.
2027 - he can decide to continue for 5yrs - or see if Ruto is very unpopular quit GOK - and try to find a ticket he can go back to power.
But Kalonzo has no brain.
Now he is going to follow RIggyG to opposition. The man whom GOK machinery is just starting to fix. RiggyG is fatally wounded - for Ruto will not leave him - standing if he has done what RVHH say (poison, bombs, coups)
Kalonzo would not accept it. He is smelling 2027 shot with Riggy backing and will not fall for such katikati optics.
Expect Wiper to vote to the last man against Riggy impeachment.
