When one looks at the One Kenya Alliance formation and the Gideon Moi and Muhoho Kenyatta's visit to Raila Odinga, one thing becomes a constant - Gideon. So he (Uhuru) seems to be drawing a plan to have Gideon as a Raila running mate. Plus, Gideon was overwhelmingly defeated by Sammy Mwaita, a Ruto ally, in Baringo Central in 2007, meaning he’s no political strongman. Gideon’s cash, state support and anti-Ruto votes in Mt Kenya are enough to sway Raila to accommodate the younger Moi in a coalition. It is to be expected that whichever political arrangement Uhuru decides to back, it will have Gideon as the running mate.
