A Kikuyu musician, the late Makibi James, advised the Kikuyu community in his song titled ‘Riua ni Twotete’ (loosely translated ‘the sun has burnt us’) to listen to his advice in the song or else, “they should wait for the hyenas that would eat them”. Should we say the same to President William Ruto? Here is the shocker!

There is a high possibility of Raila Odinga ditching Ruto in 2027 for two reasons. First, as long as Raila is breathing, he will always be on the ballot. Second, Raila believes he has the highest chance of winning the presidential election in 2027 than ever—even in his perceived old age.

These reasons should persuade Ruto’s political investors to deposit only transactional hopes with Baba. Political pundits agree that Ruto will likely repeat the same mistakes that his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta made in 2022—believing in Raila’s glittering political career.
