Even as political rivals throw barbs at a power-sharing deal hammered out by Kenya Kwanza Coalition leaders led by Deputy President William Ruto and partners, the Ford-Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula stands out above the rest as one with the safest bet.

Born on September 13 1956, Wetangula who kicked off his political career in 1992 as Nominated MP of the independence party, Kanu, is the most politically experienced partner in the coalition that also includes Musalia Mudavadi’s Amani National Congress (ANC) and National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi’s Democratic Party among others.
