Deputy President William Ruto will enter into political deals with regional political parties as part of his strategy to penetrate 'enemy' territory. On his radar are ODM leader Raila Odinga’s traditional bases of Coast, Western and South Nyanza, especially the Kisii region. With the DP's falling out with President Uhuru Kenyatta having reached a point of virtually no return, Ruto is also working with a host of Central Kenya political parties to dethrone Jubilee. In South Nyanza region, Ruto is positioning the People's Democratic Party as the outfit of choice in the Gusii region. The party is led by former South Mugirango MP Omingo Magara, a close Ruto friend dating back to 2007 when he served as ODM treasurer.
