Two families have dominated Kenyan politics since independence — the Kenyatta and the Odinga families. What the Kenyatta family has been able to do with power and holding on to it, the Odinga family has been able to do the same as the force to reckon in the opposition. They have also made sure along the way, that the Kenyatta family inescapably feels their heat, and they have. Raila had the masses and Ruto can never have any more than he did. That being the case, and being the new opposition leader, let Ruto enjoy the masses cheering him on and be prepared to say Yes, Your Excellency, when addressing the likely next President.
