Kikuyu ndio 15% population wise in 2027 - their advantage (of more adults) is not permanent.
Gema 25% vote wise - as per my last MOAS - drop from 27-28% in 2013.
Do another drop in 2027 - 23% hapo - population is dropping to 21% hapo.
Last Census despite Uhuru games - Kikuyus were 17%; Merus 4%; Rest 1%. Hiyo ni 22%.
Ruto minus Mt kenya completely is let say 25% as of 2022.
You want to say Ruto as incumbent won't make headways in small tribes (matusa+somali+coast+iteso+luhyas).
If Raila is running - he will be competing with Ruto for Non-GEMA vote.
Gema+Kalonzo will start at 30% - and then REAAAAAAAAAALY struggle outside there because they dont have 1) Power & incumbency like 2007 or last 2 decades- that Ruto takes over- and 2) Mt kenya is albastrosss nationally - it will be like 1990s - Kibaki got 30% in 1997 with united Kikuyus & half - upper Meru/Embu (lower part went KANU like it appearing with Kindiki) - and was ZERO elsewhere - Gusii kidogo alibreathe.
There are many scenarios.
1) Assume Ruto run with MADVD or Kindiki (PM/DPM) - Kalenjin+Luhya front - supported by small tribes.
2) Assume Raila runs for its sake - without Mt kenya - as ODM.
3) Assume Kalonzo run backed by GEMA - or alone.
4) Assume GEMA have their own candidate in Muhoho with Matiangi. RiggyG i dont see how he surives.
5) Assume opposition led by Bitter GEMA back Raila
Now which scenarios are really really plausible.
1) Raila goes to AU - and back Ruto western alliance - SHoe IN = 55-60%
2) Mt Kenya runs alone or with Kalonzo - 30% base - then struggle to 35-40% - MAX.
I dont see
1) Kikuyus backing Raila or Ruto - unless Uhuru tells them to listen to him (probable) and
2) I dont see Raila running unless Mt kenya backed him up.
3) I dont see how RiggyG survive this - has no skills to build party, is impeached, and will soon struggle.
And finally Ruto has big play - because DPORK for 5yrs with 2032 on sight - can entice even Kalonzo.
Smart folks will put money on Ruto 5yrs - amalize - then 2032 they take over.
GEMA are no longer smart. Hasira took over their brains.
For now we wait for Raila to go to AU - and as soon as he in AU - Ruto will take over ODM - Ruto wont waste time to sleep with ODM.
GEMA/Mt kenya will continue to be replaced in GOV by NEW ODM Members - until by 2027 - even Raila himself will be told to stick the hell in Adis Ababa - and not come take them forest - when they are in GOV.
If GEMA are saying we are done with Ruto - Ruto has to give those positions to Luos, Luhyas, Somalis, Mijikenda, Maasais and rest of the tribes.
So Mt kenya in Gov should prepare their resignation letters - and go to opposition.
One Token Minister will be left - Kindiki 2027 will be told to step aside in coalition agreement with ODM.
Pundit you need to account for the longshot Nowayhaha scenario of Ruto emerging as No 3 behind Raila and Kalonzo. Who will he endorse? Will he be Prime CS 😐
You seem to have downgraded GEMA to 15%? but they are still 25% by census and 30% by turnout. Your own math. Easily puts Kalonzo ahead of Ruto if his katikati scheme works out.
