If Ruto bought such Raila lies - he'd be like you men (madvd/weta) and now poor kalonzo - somewhere in political siberia - Raila only cares about Raila - and Ruto has to keep him on the radar.
Uhuru is a gentleman and has so far kept part of his bargain. That Raila in 2022 is planning to sit and watch is one big lie. He can only sit and watch like he did in Nov 26th if Ruto really tigten the screws and he sees he has no hope.
Ruto would be foolish to call of his war with Raila. He should treat Uhuru with kid gloves coz Uhuru is a gentleman. But Raila and Gideon Moi - there is nothing Ruto can do to appease the two - except Ruto suspending his political ambitions and serving them.
Ruto job is simple...make Raila irrelevant outside Luo Nyanza - that limit Raila to 10%. I think he is doing a great job so far - and should continue hammering him. Only a fool would buy Raila white flag as surrender. He has surrendered to GEMA - that is for sure - but not to Ruto. Ruto has to make him surrender completely - by taking away all voters that would vote for Raila.
Problem with Ruto is he takes it too personal. He should relax and after the 2017 elections he should have had sweet words for his political opponents (not enemies). Now he has burnt bridges to Raila and he needs Raila more than Raila needs him. The 2022 elections are for Ruto to loose. Raila has nothing to loose and can see on the side and watch events unfolding. If by the looks of things Uhuru and his hangerson decide their man has to remain relevant after 2022, they will have no other choice but to throw Ruto under the bus.
Btw, talking of witchcraft in churches is not very clever.
