Peter Kenneth to vie for Nairobi Gubernatorial seat on Jubilee party ticket. Is he a threat to DP Ruto's Presidential bid in 2022? (pic: peterkenneth website) |
Politics in Kenya has been marred with betrayal and mending of ties. It is not a wonder how this is being weighed with acute concerns. Others political elites giving warnings that Uhuru's ethnic group has to repay Rift Valley votes.
In Kenyan politics, especially the rift valley politics, everything was great until recently that all the plans stuck on the pendulum. The Peter Kenneth factor in Jubilee politics is a killer for DP Ruto's ambitious 2022 presidential dreams in Kenya.
Peter Kenneth comes in Jubilee politics as a clean man with full potential to lead Nairobi County into greater heights. His Presidential bid in 2013 gives him an upper hand in Nairobi gubernatorial race. However, Peter Kenneth is only threatened by the current Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko, who is also determined to vie for Nairobi Governorship on Jubilee party ticket.
Rumors has it Mt. Kenya region is grooming P. Kenneth for 2022 presidential elections. This region is known for supporting their own in politics and it only remains a miracle if they would support DP William Ruto in 2022--- according to Jubilee Party MOU.
Early, there were speculations that the deal between him and the current president of Kenya, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta will not hold. The TNA governor once openly said his region will not honor the deal. The URP side experienced some wrangles about this but the president came out and calmed the issue.
The looming standoff between the Rift Valley and Mt.Kenya region will definitely affect President Uhuru's reelection bid that is just around the corner. The fear of betrayal is enough to make things cold in the Jubilee campaigns. If this happens, then it will be the big blow to the president and his deputy--- and their MOU might not hold any longer.
