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
Suppose Ruto allowed demos with well drawn routes? Will Raila stone throwing army persist?
Ruto hardliners demand Raila must stay out of Government. Because he lost #RutoCatch22
They claim Raila is used to gate-crashing power. But they forget he has lost narrowly and twice suspiciously... Viz 2007 and 2017. #RutoCatch22
While this argument is valid, there is no denying that Raila's Chi has deserted him many times.
It would appear his Chi wants to appease his through handshakes. #RutoCatch22
So why is Riggy G cagey? He knows that a partnership between the President and Raila will finish him politically.
Infact, political analysts say that were Ruto to retire, and Gachagua and Raila are on the ballot... Ruto will vote Raila. #RutoCatch22
Gachagua was not the first choice running mate. But he is a political bully who gets things done.
The Raila Ruto handshake will consign Gachagua to the periphery... because Raila and Uhuru Kenyatta are a package #RutoCatch22
Political demons invaded #Northlands on Monday. The demons were speaking with a heavy Nyeri accent...
Infact, Kiambu demons wanted to retaliate. But were restrained by people close to the retired President #RutoCatch22
Effectively, the Northlands invasion is the final straw in the fragile relationship between the retired President and DP Gachagua
And so when, not if Gachagua is finally isolated by the Big 3 and peace returns back to politics, he may need Raila #RutoCatch22
Analysts will have noted that Kalonzo is now spotting the Jeshi La Baba Uniform. Meaning he is feeling emboldened by unseen political developments
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
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 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
