Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga’s political clout is expected to shape the 2022 succession matrix.
With solid support in their home turfs, fanatical following and national presence, the DP and Raila are well-placed to be kings or kingmakers in the quest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Aggressive, focused but subdued by the power play in Jubilee that has clipped his clout, Ruto’s charm is attracting leaders seeking to re-align themselves politically ahead of the 2022 General Election.
