Having campaigned for and supported President Kenyatta in three presidential elections right from 2002, and also having supported Mr Odinga’s bid in 2007. Mr Wetang’ula says that these developments are evidence that the 2013 peace deal between President Kenyatta and DP Ruto was founded on loose sand, for short-lived political interests. In 2007, he defied Mr Moi again by rallying members of his Kalenjin community to support Mr Odinga’s presidential bid. And when all odds were against him and President Kenyatta following their indictment by the International Criminal Court, Mr Ruto stuck to his guns and vied with President Kenyatta. In the meantime, the impeachment plot remains on the cards, according to politicians allied to President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga.
