Ruto has been at apex of national elections and referenda for 30yrs..mostly as the engine..he knows what it takes and has meticolously prepared for this.This is the first time Ruto is running for president. He will find out very soon that being the head of a ticket is not as easy as being a kingmaker but I know that will fall on blind eyes and deaf ears.
We have enough time to settle this score and there is no need playing it out here everyday for the next 41/2 years remaining.
which money man in kenya is prepared to put billions and outspend Ruto.The last one Wanjigi is still crying in the toilet.Ruto has shown he is not afraid to spend...something Raila or Giddy or shadow politician are not ready to do..and by time they wake up Ruto would have had every key politician on retainer.
2002 he lost, with state machinery on his side.
2005, he lost.
2007, he rode Raila's coat tails.
2013, he lost, with state machinery on his side, but rode kamwana's and establishment IEBC connections to power.
2017, it's public knowledge he only won with state machinery when a major candidate withdrew.
2022 is already looking stillborn and it's 4 years away.
