I note you say "he can be". I would use "he could" or even "he mayest". There's no certainty
If you ask Raila to be a kingmaker his first choice would be Mudavadi. Mudavadi is a gift to Uthamaki. They know him very well through common deals.
His next choice would be Giddy. Again someone who would be a gift to Uthamaki.
Both have no votes to bring to the table - like Saitoti.
Raila hasn't prepared ODM or Luos for succession. Reason: he has no plans to quit. Some things run in families: his father died kwa Steering. He didn't apply brakes to slow down. He just crashed out of life and politics which caused Raila a headache
Pundit your man is making basic errors that will cost him. Right now I would seriously bet against him becoming PORK. He is at the very bottom. I hope you know that.
I will not get into the details because I am staying out of 2022. My comments are just driven by my total rejection of Uthamaki, Handshake and constitution mutilation by BBI. Now we also have political persecution targeting political chokoras
I hope Raila doesn't get discouraged not to run again..Ruto need him badly.He can be dangerous if he becomes a kingmaker. Its important for Ruto to encourage him to run.Ruto should give me the rope long enough
