Uhuru is the son of Kenya's founding president Jomo Kenyatta while Raila is the scion to the country's first vice president and multi-party democracy champion Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Raila's father. “The government of national unity is being used as a means to actualising the game plan that has been in the works for a while now,” Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa said. Ruto and his allies cast the contest as one between a hardworking, successful 'upstart' and the dynasties remote from the people. Branding such a partnership an” ethnic coalition”, Ruto has warned Jubilee members to be vigilant and wary as talk of pre-2022 coalitions rages on. The ruling Jubilee Party, Ruto continued on Twitter last Friday, has no room for “selfish evil experiments meant to benefit brokers and their ilk”.
