Deputy President William Ruto has made himself the man to beat in 2022. He drives his race cars (political parties) at such high speed that other drivers devise ways of slowing him down.

Although they occasionally succeed in puncturing his tyres, they do not knock out the engine or knock him out of the presidential race. He is currently suffering major tyre bursts, thereby raising doubt about his ability to finish the race.
