Ruto has too many GEMA enemies…although he enjoys the backing of President Kenyatta, Mr Ruto’s quest to inherit the populous Central Kenya vote will not be a walk in the park.
Already, resistance is quietly brewing, especially among poll losers in the Jubilee Party primaries and in the General Election in August.
Unsuccessful gubernatorial candidates, Mr Peter Kenneth (Nairobi) and Mr William Kabogo (Kiambu), have openly blamed their woes on the Deputy President.
Supporters of the two politicians and many others feel they are victims of Mr Ruto’s presidential ambition. They opine that the Deputy President has deliberately neutralized the political heavyweights in the region so he can have no serious challenge from the region come 2022. If this is truly the scheme, it also speaks to a different fact – that Mr Ruto is already a powerful political figure, able to influence voting patterns in Central Kenya region.
Nonetheless, friction between Mr Ruto and some politicians in the region continues to heighten. Mr Kabogo became the first politician in June last year to verbalise this tension when he told Mr Ruto that he would not automatically inherit Mr Kenyatta’s political constituency.
Speaking in Juja, the former Kiambu Governor said the decision as to who would become President would not be automatic.
