DAILY POST: Kitaeleweka! Mt. Kenya ‘join’ RAILA’s Opposition and do not want to hear about RUTO-The hustler will watch State House on TV News 06:40

Tuesday December 18, 2018-The March 9^th handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA Leader, Raila Odinga, seems to have thrown Deputy President William Ruto’s plans to succeed Uhuru into jeopardy.

This is after Central Kenya, which Ruto was hoping will support his 2022 Presidential bid thanks to his deal with Uhuru in 2013, appears to have joined the Opposition and now do not want to hear anything to do with the DP. According to political analyst, Prof Peter Kagwanja, the handshake leveled the playing ground for all politicians and the idea of an automatic successor to President Kenyatta’s as far as Central Kenyan politics is concerned, “has gone with the wind”. He noted that the recent remarks by Uhuru that his choice of successor will be a shocker opened the region to all, including to Raila, because it negated the original idea that Mr. Ruto would be his automatic successor. “The Central region does not oppose anybody outright, not Ruto or even Raila.” “We can correctly say that it is up for grabs.” “People have grievances against the Government because of the alleged manipulated party primaries and underdevelopment, which are likely to hurt Jubilee and Ruto more than anybody else,” Prof. Kagwanja said. Since the handshake, a group of Mt. Kenya leaders have met with Raila Odinga, among them Governor Ann Waiguru, Mr. Kabogo, and former Kigumo MP. Jamleck Kamau.  Others are former Senator Kembi Gitura (Muranga), former MPs Ndungu Gathenji (Tetu) and Kabando (Mukuruweini) and the Kikuyu Council of Elders.
