Perhaps you have wondered why Raila is so comfortable with President Uhuru Kenyatta yet Ruto is uncomfortable with Raila’s joining of the ruling party. It’s emerging that the President may not support Ruto’s candidature in 2022.

As it approaches 2022, communication between the president and his deputy will be less and less while Gideon’s relationship with Uhuru will blossom. But what is evident is that Uhuru does not want to hurt Ruto and neither does he want to hurt Moi senior.The best thing he will do is,tell Ruto and Moi to meet at the field and whoever will win,well and good.
If you are a keen observer,you have noticed that the closeness Ruto used to have with the president is no more.You have also observed that Gideon’s name is mentioned more than any other politician in Kenya.What this means is that Uhuru is more comfortable with Gideon that his deputy.
You saw what happened to the DP last week—he was blocked from seeing the former President at his Kabarak home. Earlier, Raila walked majestically into the same compound and was fondly welcomed by Gideon.The game that’s played here will hurt the DP.
