This is the map of Kenya. Yellow represents the geographic areas where President Ruto harvested votes.
Blue represents the strength of Raila Odinga in the 2022 poll
#HandLegShake Image
According to official IEBC records, Ruto won the election. But not with a landslide.
During the Uhuruto victory of 2013, the pattern was almost similar.
#HandLegShake Image
Uhuruto again won narrowly in 2022.
At worst, Raila Odinga has attracted political capital a cross more counties than both President Ruto and retired President Kenyatta.
#HandLegShake Image
In 2013, the tyranny of Kikuyu and Kalenjin numbers got UhuRuto victory.

Meaning, majority of other regions voted for Raila, according him a national outlook. #HandLegShake Image
In 2022 however, President Ruto ate into the Odinga pie in Western Kenya, specifically among the Ababukusu and Maragoli.#HandLegShake Image
Ruto also performed well in Coast Province. But Raila prevailed #HandLegShake Image
Raila lost the election. But he has considerable support countrywide #HandLegShake Image
Raila is a political mammal. Currently jobless, idle.

He used the water shed period between October 2022 and February to fix personal errands... Including nomination of his daughter to EALA.#HandLegShake Image
But now, Maandamano is starting to scatter the hustler agenda... and the Wealthy West.
#HandLegShake Image
Ruto and Gachagua insist Raila must stay out because he refused to whip his MPs to pass the Official Opposition bill in Parliament.
#HandLegShake Image
Ruto's plan was to ensure Raila gets the official opposition slot... Retired President Uhuru the older diploma role. Kalonzo the position in between.#HandLegShake Image
But Raila is not keen for some reason. And Gachagua wants Uhuru politically dead. #HandLegShake Image
Forget about Riggy G tantrums.
The President and Raila Odinga can meet. They need not shake hands. They are the duo most influential personas in the country. #HandLegShake Image
They are peers. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is not in that class.
He will get there in the fullness of time. When he realizes that Kenyans dislike people who yell at them.
#HandLegShake Image
The agenda for Raila and President Ruto meeting? Change the Constitution to accommodate a losing Presidential candidate who garners 48 per cent of the vote.
#HandLegShake Image
Agenda number 2. Increase revenue allocation to counties 50+1. So that local politicians, cartels get enough to eat. And drink. #HandLegShake Image
Agenda number 3. Give picketing a Kenyan definition and decorum.. So that police can know the type of tear gas to use.#HandLegShake Image

DURING a viral interview with BBC, Trade CS Moses Kuria said the Government will clamp down on Raila.. the Museveni way.
#RutoCatch22
Kuria, the ultimate trade ambasandor for Kenya was advocating for an action that will trigger animosity.. And give the hungry Kenyans to massive acts of violence. Why?

#RutoCatch22 Image
Kuria, who claims to be an altar boy Emeritus grow up in this famous but poor rural set up.

As a brilliant fresh University of Nairobi graduate in 1997, he masterminded the defeat of Uhuru Kenyatta by Moses Muihia.

Azimio leader Raila Odinga has called off the deadly demonstrations, one hour after President Ruto's appeal.
#HandLegShake | #RutoCatch22
Flanked by Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka, Raila said he will now wait for Parliament to address the contagious issues that led him to the streets in the first place.
#HandLegShake | #RutoCatch22

Effectively, the new 'handshake' has shamed DP Rigathi Gachagua and Musalia Mudavadi who had claimed there will be 'absolutely' no talks with Raila.

Aden Duale is no ordinary CS. He leads the State Department of Defence. A key, critical and sensitive Ministry.

His sentiments on national Radio that retired President Kenyatta has set emmiseries raise fundamental issues that deserve probity.
#HandLegShake Image
Was Aden Duale speaking as a politician or defence CS. If he was making a reckless political statement, that can be understood.

#HandLegShake
However, if retired President Kenyatta has sent emissaries to the Government over the invasion of Northlands, then the CS cannot make it public.

The political upheaval is a poisoned chalice for President William Ruto. He shakes hands/leg with Raila Odinga, his hardliners led DP Gachagua will be up in arms.
#RutoCatch22 Image
President turns down the hand/leg propelled by mob stones, he alienates 48 per cent of the population. #RutoCatch22 Image
Raila/Martha/Kalonzo may not be angling for state jobs after all. But blunders by the Government have propelled them to stardom.

In 1992, Matiba using Ford Asili introduced three piece suit voting I'm Nairobi and Central Kenya.
And so Matiba's men were elected councilors, MPS, and himself as Presidential candidate.
In 1997, Kibaki borrowed Matiba strategy.
#SixPieceNonsense Image
Once in office, illiterate councilors, and clueless mayors run down the City of Nairobi. Councillor Kingori was elected in Nairobi between 1993 and 1997.
Nairobi became the city in the garbage.
Empty spaces in the City Centre were grabbed.
