Uhuru power is nothing like Moi or Kenyatta. The man is hapless and has lost control of parliament - and Ruto runs half the gov. Now the hurdle he faces is twice hard. Ruto just need to win 2022 election. Raila and Uhuru - assuming they are one - have to win two elections - they have to win the referendum and then national election.
Of course nothing suggests Uhuru is dumb to pursue this Raila make-believe idea.
And the silver lining - Ruto has already won popular support without endorsement from Uhuru.What I imagined - was Ruto struggling to win GEMA with Uhuru relentlessly pushing for his TOSHA. I never imagined Ruto winning popular support without Uhuru....so the reverse psychology has worked.
The grave yard is filled with Deputy/Vice presidents who never assumed the presidency. Ouru recognizes term limits as his problem and I am sure he is working on how to go around it. I think Ruto's problem to ascend to power without Ouru's blessings is much bigger than Ouru's problem going around term limits. The difference is that one has power and one does not. Real politic.
