This will be the most expensive presidential race in Kenya's history, but it will also be one in which the incumbent has delivered tangible deliverables. Affordable Housing and SHA engineering will garner the most support from urban poor and rural voters by late next year. Ruto will campaign on agriculture, the cost of living, and housing & health, while opposition candidates will focus on police brutality, corruption, wantam BS, and stupid claims. I believe that Ruto's networks, which are empowering millions, will cut the noise and make the difference. There are over 10K women groups, widows groups, church groups, youth groups, Boda boda/Mama mboga, and countless communities, including recent slum families on the affordable housing list that has been powered by Ruto quietly over the last 10 years. In 2022, they made a significant impact, shocking both Uhuru/Raila and the government with their billion-shilling campaign/government machinery. Having contact with millions of ordinary Kenyans in different groups is powerful. By 2027, the Ruto conglomerate is expected to have nearly 4 million direct beneficiaries. With tribal numbers and few fully paid kingpins, Ruto will knick it and shock the broke crowd and their sloganeering bs again like in 2022!
