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
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
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
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
In 2022 however, President Ruto ate into the Odinga pie in Western Kenya, specifically among the Ababukusu and Maragoli.#HandLegShake
Ruto also performed well in Coast Province. But Raila prevailed #HandLegShake
Raila lost the election. But he has considerable support countrywide #HandLegShake
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
But now, Maandamano is starting to scatter the hustler agenda... and the Wealthy West. #HandLegShake
Ruto and Gachagua insist Raila must stay out because he refused to whip his MPs to pass the Official Opposition bill in Parliament. #HandLegShake
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
But Raila is not keen for some reason. And Gachagua wants Uhuru politically dead. #HandLegShake
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
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
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
Agenda number 2. Increase revenue allocation to counties 50+1. So that local politicians, cartels get enough to eat. And drink. #HandLegShake
Agenda number 3. Give picketing a Kenyan definition and decorum.. So that police can know the type of tear gas to use.#HandLegShake
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?
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. #HandLegShake | #RutoCatch22
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's renegade son has offered to protect the Kenyatta family from attacks by Kenyan goons #NorthlandsInvasion
General Muhoozi Kainarugaba, whose mental faculties appear off rail says he wants to dispatch Ugandan soldiers to deal with the hooligans and their sponsors. #NorthlandsInvasion
Muhoozi, who has for long posted aggressive twitter messages against Kenya and it's leadership has stoked a raw wound that will elicit maximum reaction. #NorthlandsInvasion
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
President turns down the hand/leg propelled by mob stones, he alienates 48 per cent of the population. #RutoCatch22
Raila/Martha/Kalonzo may not be angling for state jobs after all. But blunders by the Government have propelled them to stardom. #RutoCatch22

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
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. #SixPieceNonsense
