Political analyst Martin Oloo avers that Ruto’s utterances in Bomet point to panic and a desperate bid to rally his backyard.
“The President has every reason to panic. There are bases that he had and they are now shaky. Two of them are Rift Valley and Central Kenya and chances are that he has lost the Mt Kenya region but he has tried and continues to try to win over their support. President Ruto’s worry now is that those in Rift Valley are not coming out in numbers to register as voters. They might not oppose him but if they do not turn up to vote on the material day to vote, he is doomed,” said Oloo.
