In between them, the duo managed just over 50 per cent of the national presidential tally, in both instances. And remember, the DP had already gravely hurt his chances of getting supporters from these (Cord/NASA) regions through his snide, desparaging remarks against leaders such as Raila, Kalonzo, and Wetangula. Still, the burning question remains: What, then, makes Ruto and his supporters so confident that they can win the 2022 Presidential poll? Whatever factors are at play, Kenyans should not be duped by the clamour for a Raila/Ruto ace card for 2022. My point, therefore, is that Kenyans need a Third, Fourth, or even Fifth axis for choice for the 2022 Contest.
