As Kenyans usher in the New Year and the political destiny largely lies in the hands of President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga will likely play a key role in shaping the upcoming events.
While the President and Raila are fully committed to the passage of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report, Dr Ruto has been of a contrary view on the urgency to change the Constitution.
With a new party, United Democratic Alliance (UDA) linked to Ruto in the offing, according to his allies, it remains to be seen how he will navigate the stormy water in his ruling Jubilee Party and the place of Jubilee Asili Centre, a parallel office he opened in June.
