Just as a note, Uhuru Kenyatta could join opposition rallies today and it wouldn’t return even one single vote that William Ruto has already lost. Politics doesn’t reward repetition. A strategy that succeeds in one election cycle seldom carries into the next. Why? Because voters learn. Narratives are tested, stretched, and eventually revealed. The “dynasty vs hustler” framing that lifted Ruto to power worked in its moment, but within less than three years, many have started to see it for what it was: a powerful campaign message, yes, but also a carefully crafted political narrative overall. That change grants Uhuru a different kind of freedom. He can finance campaigns, openly back candidates, even stand atop a car and rally crowds, and people will still listen. There’s a sense, fair or not, that he has been somewhat largely now vindicated. If the present administration spends its energy trying to recreate the emotional conditions of 2022 for 2027, it risks fighting the previous war. Politics shifts. Voters change. And clinging to an outdated strategy can cost more than abandoning it.
