Raila and Ruto
ODM Leader Raila Odinga(Left) and Deputy President William Ruto

Deputy President William Ruto and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga were a force to reckon in the 2007 General Elections before they fell out.

Plans to have the two form a government are underway as indicated by the Deputy President’s camp.

Eliud Owalo, the political strategist, clarified that the operational plan included persuading Odinga to dump President Uhuru Kenyatta. Owalo earlier served as a strategist for Odinga and Musalia Mudavadi.

He stated that Kenyatta was using Odinga to push for constitutional changes and that the Building Bridges Initiative will be used against Odinga himself.

He warned Odinga not to pursue the footsteps of his father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. History alleges that Jaramogi was betrayed by Jomo Kenyatta after the latter rose to power. After Kibaki became President, he dumped Raila Odinga.

Owalo stated that since Ruto had experienced the same struggles through the ‘deep state’ and the system, the two were better positioned to work together and end the feud.

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies have frequently spoken about endorsing Odinga for one term. David Murathe, Jubilee Vice-Chairman, called him fit for a Transitional President, that Ruto could never become President in 2022.
