BY KWENDO OPANGA, Nairobi<\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frenzied politics building up to the August General Election was ushered in by the detente (handshake) between President Kenyatta and Mr Raila Odinga in March of 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that is not the way the President explains it. Since his Sagana III meeting with Kikuyu leaders in February, Kenyatta has repeatedly said he turned to Odinga for help because his house was on fire, but Deputy President William Ruto was not going to his rescue. <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some background\nis in order. Odinga pushed Kenyatta and Kenya against the wall and to the brink\nrespectively, by leading political and economic sabotage (resistance) of the\nadministration from October of 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odinga branded\nthe newly sworn in government illegitimate and malevolent, then swore himself\nin as president in January of 2018 and called for the secession of western\nKenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This after\nrejecting the results of the August 2017 presidential poll and challenging them\nin court, then boycotting the court-ordered repeat poll of October. He said it\nwould be rigged anyway. Cornered, the President entered talks with Odinga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that is not\nthe way the President explains it. Since his Sagana III meeting with Kikuyu\nleaders in February, Kenyatta has repeatedly said he turned to Odinga for help\nbecause his house was on fire, but Deputy President William Ruto was not going\nto his rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, the\nPresident says, Ruto took a hardline position against Odinga, arguing that the\ngovernment was legally constituted and the President was legitimately in power.\nHe should therefore charge Odinga with treason. So they fell out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the\ncase, then, the first and second in command fell out on a matter of principle;\nRuto batting for the legitimacy of government and the President for the\nindivisibility of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore\nKenyatta avoided the nuclear option of taking Odinga to court, and, instead,\nbrought him into the tent to the chagrin of Ruto. Thereafter, the President\nconcedes, he has increasingly turned to Odinga for advice and deferred to him\non important matters of state to the exclusion of Ruto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President has\nnot been this categorical when trying to tie Ruto to corruption and or misuse\nof public resources. But in Sagana he obliquely referenced the non existent\nhydro power dams of the Rift Valley for which public money was disbursed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, did not the crowded Kenyatta, Mudavadi and Moi ticket lose in 2002? It did despite Moi being and having a dog in the fight. But, as demonstrated in the last instalment, the organisation, longevity and ferocity of Kenyatta\u2019s onslaught for Odinga against Ruto, puts Moi's fight for Kenyatta against Kibaki to shame. <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Still, per the\nPresident, Ruto’s original sin is that instead of dedicating his time to\nworking for the people of Kenya he embarked on early campaigns for the\npresidency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be that as it\nmay, handshake politics, originally billed as the harbinger of peace, has\nmutated into a full-fledged putsch by Kenyatta and Odinga for their takeover of\nState House, Parliament, Council of Governors and County Assemblies in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, charity\nbegins at home, which is why since last year, Kenya’s media have been promising\ntheir publics a campaign blitz by the President against Ruto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The krieg, they\nhave reported, will start in Kenyatta’s vote-rich Mount Kenya backyard before\ngoing to the rest of the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a conundrum\nthat Rutoism (dynastic politics and bottom-up economics) and Ruto, would be\nrespectively entrenched and ensconced in Mount Kenya, so much so that the\nPresident would mount an offensive to evict them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has been\nclear since the start of the year is that the August polls will pit the\nKenyatta and Odinga -fronted Azimio La Umoja (Declaration of Unity) coalition\nagainst the rival Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza (Kenya First) Alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
President Uhuru Kenyatta<\/code><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That means for\nthe first time in Kenya’s post-independence electoral history competing poll\nformations have coalesced around an outgoing President and the second in\ncommand who seeks to succeed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether Kenyans\nregard it as the government being torn down the middle, a case of the enemy\nbeing within or the government cannibalising itself, it has made for gripping\nelectioneering long before the poll is officially called. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the\nfirst time that the  President has teamed\nup with a politician who has fought him and his deputy fiercely in three\npresidential polls, to take on the same deputy in a contest for power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, for the\nfirst time Kenyans have seen the President and his deputy, who were previously\nhigh-fiving, dress-alike buddies, go hammer and tongs at each other like\npound-for-pound boxers, in a four-year-long slugfest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Ms Ruto, DP Ruto,Uhuru and Margaret<\/code><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But, from the\noutset the playing field is tilted. The Azimio presidential corner features\nOdinga and his running mate – plus the President. The Kenya Kwanza ticket\nfeatures Ruto and his running mate. That’s three against two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President has\na dog in the fight and is himself in the fight. When the President is, or has,\na dog in the fight, then, the issue of the fight in the dog is a foregone\nconclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, did not the\ncrowded Kenyatta, Mudavadi and Moi ticket lose in 2002? It did despite Moi\nbeing and having a dog in the fight. But, as demonstrated in the last\ninstalment, the organisation, longevity and ferocity of Kenyatta\u2019s onslaught\nfor Odinga against Ruto, puts Moi’s fight for Kenyatta against Kibaki to shame.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, Moi had\nbeen president for 24 years and the idea of his reincarnation in Kenyatta was\nhugely off-putting for many Kenyans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President has left nothing to chance since 2018 when he shook hands with Odinga to put a public seal to a privately concluded deal. He has made his handshake partner an unelected powerhouse and together they have rendered Ruto a deputy in name only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
