Central Kenya is like a beautiful girl ripe for marriage but with many suitors trying to outdo each other in impressing her. Without a clear political heir, President Uhuru Kenyatta has left a political vacuum in the mountains. Some opine that is a clever strategy to ensure his political relevance in years to come. That political vacuum is attracting all manner of political suitors to this region.
Raila Odinga and William Ruto are the two key suitors. It’s possible a third suitor could emerge before polling day in 2022.
