The Star has established that Ruto has been aggressively reaching out to Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka, Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula and outgoing Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya. Over the last few months, Ruto has directly engaged Oparanya but the ODM deputy party leader says he is in ODM to stay. In the new arrangement, Lusaka will be going back to reclaim his Bungoma governorship seat that he lost to Wangamati in 2017. Wetang'ula and Lusaka have not been seeing eye-to-eye. In an interview with the Star, Lusaka said the interests of the Luhya nation will drive the direction of the community.
