Truth Behind Ruto’s Series of Tour in Mt. Kenya.

Ruto has planned a series of Mt Kenya tours beginning with Embu and Murang’a. A good politician knows how to test the waters and that’s exactly what he is doing. 

So far, Ruto has managed to bring 99.8% of UDA elected leaders into his fold, leaving Riggy G with 0.02%. Having said that, the battle now moves to who has the ground and that is exactly what Ruto is doing. 

He wants to know if the 99.8% of UDA elected leaders translate into the same number of fanatics on the ground. It will be interesting to watch and hear the elected Leaders who have been hitting Riggy G on Facebook and TV interviews do it on the ground. It will also be interesting to see the kind of reception the MPs and Ruto will receive on the ground.

Next, Riggy G must prove that despite having 0.02% of UDA elected leaders in his fold, he has 100% support from the ground. La sivyo atatafunwa. 

They say politics is local, but local politics can also be your Waterloo if the timing is wrong.
