That probably explain why Raila and rest have not managed to beat GEMA. You don't face gema with weakness and meekness and expect to win.Now Raila is out there cleaning and dinning with Mungiki
. Ohoo so Ruto plays nice and Uhuru doesn't get mad. Nope - you have to demonstrate to Uhuru that he doesn't stick to the deal - and it's self-assured destruction. I think Sonko has the playbook for that...and he won Nairobi despite GEMA controlling more than half of Jubilee. Ruto has to make sure Raila get NO space..no peace..no inch..and has to make Uhuru not get too nice
or carried away with his peace agenda. That I think he has done successfully so far. Raila has been left to clean Mungiki hands and veteran harambee stars players. He speaks about 2022 - and Jubilee go hammers on him - he had to retract
. That is how to play the game.
Ruto job is basically to neutralize and sabotage Raila ..because Raila remain his main opponent.
Ruto has to drawn the sand early so those thinking of PM or extending Uhuru term knows they got a big messy fight coming if they insist - and so they'll get discouraged early enough.
You should take your own advise about being a cold blooded political pundit. You are too tied emotionally to Ruto to make reasonable observation. For example, you say talk about WSR being tough on Ouru. WSR needs Ouru but I do not see how Ouru needs WSR. Therefore why should Ruto go rogue on Ouru publicly. That may just make Ouru mad and then he may not endorse WSR. Without Ouru's endorsement, WSR will not get even 50% of GEMA vote. Even if Ouru endorses WSR, he will not get the same amount of GEMA as ouru got.
