President William Ruto and Raila Odinga might be working together.
This is according to political analyst Herman Manyora.
In an interview with Spice FM, Manyora claimed that Raila is dealing with Ruto behind the scenes and can not come out openly because he owes his people so much.
“The problem is that Raila owes his team so much, that if it came openly immediately that he was dealing with Ruto, he may not be able to carry that sense of betrayal. On the other hand, Ruto has a problem; Rigathi Gachagua does not mince his words and will cause a lot of problems for Ruto if that deal between the two becomes public,” he said.
“The bottom line is a clear route for Ruto in 2027. I think the strategy is to contain the Mountain first. Once that support is secured, and confidence in cooperation from Nyanza and Western regions is gained, Ruto may become more open about his plans,” Manyora further said.
At the same time, the political analyst insinuated that Ruto’s recent visit to Nyanza is a proof of Raila and Ruto’s newly found union.
The head of state went to Nyanza region for a four days trip.
While the trip might seem to be like any other developmental trip, Manyora thinks otherwise.
According to him, the Nyanza trip should be a call for alarm to DP Rigathi Gachagua and former Vice president and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
“Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka should be very afraid, they are on the outside. There is a deal between Raila and Ruto. Looking at the Nyanza tour, what plays out confirms some of some things people have been feeling, that Raila and Ruto have a deal,” Manyora opined.
“That kind of thing that played out could not easily have played out if Raila had not given his note. Something has taken place and I have no doubt that the casualties will be Kalonzo Musyoka and Rigathi Gachagua,” he added
