No sugar-coating it, WSR isn't popular for his leadership credentials. If Kenyans were to vote purely on merit, all the old-timers (RAO, WSR, Ka-LOOSER, Ma-DVD etc) would not even qualify to wash the polling stations.
That said, WSR is VERY POPULAR. So, why is that?
Well, WSR is an act of defiance against the establishment... Real or perceived, valid or invalid, wise or stupid, isn't the question here.
The reality is that he is perceived to be the candidate that best represents defiance... Again, I'm not defending the decision or hating on it, just stating facts.
WSR will win big in 2022... You wait for it.
UHURU has bulldozed the political landscape because he is president. As we near, 2022... His incumbency loses its power. That's to say defying him openly will be the order of the day... Think of 2002 Nyayo.
Single-handedly, WSR controls a bigger share of the votes than JUBILEE did...
He has what JUBILEE had, and has made serious inroads in the Coast, Ukambani, Luhya land etc
So just be prepared for a RUTO Presidency.
What gives him the Presidency is unfortunately what will take it from him too!
When people are in defiance mode, you have to be an exceptional performer, or they turn on you. Sometimes, the call for change is so urgent, the progress you make is ignored and people revolt against you too!
Think of Kibaki.
The winds of change blew him into power. He performed exceptionally well, but still the Nation turned against him.
Look at Gambia... The winds of revolt turned on Barrow as soon as he entered office.
With the amount of looting associated with 'WSR guys', he is bound to lose favor with the electorate before 2027.
That's why we must say no to BBI. It's the only ray of hope I see for a RUTO second term. With such centralized power, he will make it to a second term.
Without the BBI, I honestly don't see him doing two terms. The very thing that gives him power shall be the very same thing that takes it away
