The biggest threat to Ruto’s second term is a united opposition.
There is propaganda that Ruto will simply rig his way back, but rigging is not as easy as people make it sound. Rigging requires serious intelligence, serious coordination, serious logistics and a disciplined political machine, and Kenya Kwanza may be loud, arrogant and aggressive, but that does not mean they have the capacity to quietly manage every moving part of an election without exposing themselves to a bigger crisis.
The bigger danger for Ruto is the possibility of a last minute national mood swing where Kenyans wake up close to the election and decide in large numbers that Ruto must go. That is the counterattack I am talking about. Not chaos, not violence and not online excitement, but millions of ordinary Kenyans making a quiet decision in their homes, villages, towns, churches, markets, workplaces and polling stations that enough is enough. When people are divided, confused or hopeless, power can manipulate them, but when many Kenyans arrive at the same conclusion at the same time, the system starts shaking.
Personally, my worry is bigger than Ruto. It is bigger than Kalonzo and bigger than whoever else imagines they can inherit power. Whether the next president is Ruto, Kalonzo, Kuku or anyone else, things will still be bad if the poisoned system remains untouched. The country is not well. People are broke, businesses are closing, families that were stable two or three years ago are now struggling, rent is choking people, food is expensive, school fees is a nightmare, jobs are scarce and hope itself has become expensive.
This is where the opposition is also failing because they are talking politics but they are not seriously addressing the issues affecting Kenyans. Kenyans do not just need a replacement for Ruto. They need a serious plan for the economy, taxation, public debt, corruption, police brutality, unemployment, healthcare, education and the cost of living. Without that, removing one group and replacing it with another will only change the names of the people eating while the country continues bleeding.
As I have always said, only Kenyans themselves will take back this country, rectify it and set serious systems. Not politicians, not tribal kingpins and not fake reformers who become silent immediately they get appointments. Keen people know that time must come, and it may come slowly then suddenly.
No matter who is at the top, Kenyans will eventually realise that the system itself is poisoned, and once that realisation becomes national, it will be very bad for anyone who takes over. Kenyans will not just be asking for a new president. They will be demanding a country that finally works.
Babu Owino is so politically hot. That I believe his life is danger. Babu Owino may get assassinated like Tom Mboya was. Tom Mboya was murdered because the Kiambu Mafia saw he had a bright future in politics. Babu is the one mostly likely to take over Raila luokingpin status.
@Kenyans President Ruto ascended to power through divisive politics instead of real issue Agenda. Hustlers vs dynasty narrative was to incite the poor who are the majority against the Rich. Immediately he was sworn in, he joined the same dynasties living mama mboga and bodaboda crying 😂
The government has "officially and legally lowered" the quality of fuel for our cars to help with the shortage. How will this affect our cars? These humans brought in bad fuel then "legalized" it. Not even Danie Toroitich Arap Moi was this greedy.
Those guys in broad based think “watu wa Sufuria” by Ruto was Edwin Sifuna and Babu Owino. Baba was the drive behind the Sufuria kwa kichwa.
You’re being mocked but you can’t see. Continue resting in peace Baba, they’re now mocking you
Can’t lie I’m beginning to understand why others leagues cook us so much,
Bundesliga- Bayern (beautiful football)
Ligue 1- PSG (beautiful football)
La Liga- Barcelona (beautiful football)
While we are stuck with Arteta & his corner kicks and haram ball in the Prem💔
No reliance on corners or throw ins
No wrestling in the box
No parking the bus
No crying about referees
Just two teams playing beautiful football, attacking with everything and trying to destroy each other
THIS IS WHAT FOOTBALL IS MEANT TO BE
This semi-final match between Bayern München vs PSG is entertaining. Nobody is holding back. Pure display of talent. An incredible game of football. Tomorrow it will be pure rubbish of haram football.
Just a reminder that in two legs in the quarter final Arsenal only scored one goal in 3 hours of football. Anyone who has problems sleeping just watch those two legs and I guarantee will put you to sleep.
Karibu sana Your Excellency President Dr. William Ruto
This is more than just a school - this is my father Baba Raila Odinga's dream coming true.
Baba always said: Education is the backbone of Kenya. No child should be left
behind because of poverty or where they come from. An educated Kenya is a strong Kenya!
Today we welcome the President here because when it comes to our children's future, we put Kenya first.
More classrooms, better teachers, brighter futures — that's the mission!

It is being reported that Ruto is scheduled to tour Kibra and Lang’ata tomorrow, in response to Babu and Orengo’s mammoth rally in Kisumu.
Ruto’s people have allegedly released kshs 50 million for the massive mobilization currently ongoing for Luos to come out and show their support for Ruto.
