According to political analyst, Mutahi Ngunyi; Dr William Ruto will not be the president but instead he will be made the president. Totally agreeing with his school of thought, we break down to see who are these that will ascend Daktari to the throne.

The hustlers, I once said, the sons and daughters of our former freedom fighters are holding our country’s economy and politics hostage. Through his twitter handle @kabetes, the late businessman Jacob Juma said, “2022 will be a race between the three royal families versus other Kenyan families. This is how William Ruto will triumph. Time will vindicate us on this. Take it! Leave it!” Of course we took it.

It is now as clear as black and white that the three dynasties: Kenyattas, Odingas and Mois are currently singing the same tune. The people whose fathers are known as referred to by Boni Khalwale.

Our country’s political dynamics is gradually changing to be that of Dynasties vs Hustlers. Hustlers being the majority will carry the day and make Hustler the president.

Solid backyard

Despite the many allegations and utterances of indoctrinations against WSR, the Rift Valley is currently loyal to him like never before. The Rift Valley Parliamentarians Coccus chaired by Soy Lawmaker, Hon Caleb Kositany has firmly and ruthlessly focused in making WSR the fifth president.

Apart from the bold and outspoken Kapserets Oscar Sudi, other leaders from the region including Kipkelion East MP, Nyiganet Hillary Kosgey, Belguts Nelson Koech Sonko, Nandi Senator Kiprotich Cherargey and his Kericho counterpart Aaron Cheruyot, Elgeyo-Marakwet Speaker Kiplagat Sabulei among others have dared the president to come out clearly and categorically on the 2022 succession politics, dismissing the hakuna deni narrative.

Team Tanga Tanga; This the battalion of leaders allied to WSR. Settling for nothing less other than making him the next Commander-in-chief.

Irregardless of their political parties they have shown and attest their support and loyalty to WSR. Speaking in Kaptait, Soy Constituency, Kikuyu MP, Kimani Ichungwa said, Dunia ipasuke, isipasuke, mimi nitasima na William Ruto. Despite being diminished and accused of operating on WSR’s payroll, their focus has remained fixed.

Former rebels, as 2022 slowly approaches, WSR is reuniting with them. Former Cherangany MP, ANC deputy party leader and his long time rebel, Kipruto Arap Kirwa, Former Kakamega Senator, Dr Boni Khalwale, Chama Cha Mashinani’s Isaac Rutto, Benjaa of Ainabmoi, Ngong Ng’eno of Emurua Dikirr, Former Wareng County Council Chairman, Moses Keter among others have vow to support him come 2022. Another score for his political ambition.

The Youths Nation; many youths are challenged by WSR’s history. Rising from a chicken seller to Kenya’s second in command, embracing resilience and diligence driven by the allure of brighter future.

Ruto is the most popular leader among the youths in Kenya.

His loyalty to Uhuru; Since the merging of URP and TNA to form Jubilee Party, WSR has worked closely and loyally behind Uhuru. Despite the many allegations and insubordinations that might have broken the two. This has ignited the ten ten deal ramblings especially among the Mt Kenya region leaders. Assuring him of their support come 2022.

Indeed, no one can stop the idea of change whose time in history has come.
