Two major camps have emerged as has been the case since the reintroduction of the multi-party democracy in 1991. The Kikuyu were split equally between Uhuru Kenyatta and Kibaki to form alliances with Moi and Raila respectively in 2002. Raila was with William Ruto in 2007, while the old professor of politics and his protégé, Uhuru, endorsed Kibaki’s reelection. Tangatanga derives its name and formation from the public rebuke of Ruto by the President in Eastlands sometime in 2018. His opponents used the anti-corruption war to push to the wall claiming that he did not understand what he was up against; thus the Kitaelewekwa slogan and the Kieleweke group.
