But Ruto has progressed every 5yrs - because politics is not just boardroom - but out there on the grounds. Kalonzo, Gideon, Isaac and maDVD have no ground game. If Uhuru is looking for a stooge - he found them.
Anyway, this now is the game of who is the most desperate. Kalonzo has overtaken Raila and signed into Jubilee. That was super fast. ODM are still not sure whether to remain in opposition or join Jubilee.
Anyway, it appears Kalonzo will formally quit NASA and try his luck with Jubilee. The idea is for the weaklings to form a coalition of Kalonzo-Gideon-and GEMA lackey.
Meanwhile, Raila is playing BBI - while we know GEMA elite and laity don't trust him.
The game is on. Uhuru is busy stealing - everyone else is playing 2022.
We could have very interesting 2022 lineup. Raila running with GEMA lackey. Ruto with Gema partner. Kalonzo with Uhuru stooge.
This is hard truth for Ruto people to swallow. They insist Ruto is so trustworthy despite glaring evidence in the contrary. Before that they touted his sterling performance. Now I think they are selling Kalonzo Musyoka. The import of today is that Kalonzo for the moment is out of Ruto's reach. Because he does not want to be in opposition until 2022. If there was to be a compromise of sorts - Mdvd will be edged out by Katikati. He seems to have brought Alfie Mutua Chap Chap ob board.
Now Ruto archrivals in RV - Giddy and Isaac - are in the kitchen cabinet. Ruto is the examplar KYM who build parties then rivals take over. All that Jubilee donkey work is down the drain. URP is largely intact as we see in parliament. He is Raila NDP level - 1997 - of a tribal party - with Kalonzo - attempts to go national have flopped.
