After the fallout between President Kenyatta and Ruto, the Deputy President has trained his guns on next year’s General Election. According to sources who did not want to be named, Ruto has embarked on a recruitment drive targeting first and second term governors. As for the first-term governors, their support for the DP will be reciprocated by him backing them for a second term. The arrangement will have the outgoing governors mobilise support for Ruto in their backyards in return for consideration in government positions if he wins the presidential race. The agreements have been kept under wraps, with the governors mostly engaging Ruto in private meetings or through emissaries, according to a source.
