President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto came together in 2011 after they were charged with crimes against humanity. Eventually, this led to them coming together and forming a political movement that Kenyans accepted and with which they formed their first government in 2013. Throughout the time that Uhuru has been President, he has made it very clear that his chosen successor is the Deputy President. People away from the two of them have made the claim that the President has abandoned his deputy and friend. Instead of waiting patiently for the completion of the President’s term and the handing over of the baton, the Deputy President has decided to campaign early, subtly attack the President on numerous occasions and openly defy his boss.
