I see the silhouette of a smiling Deputy President William Ruto. Slightly behind him to the left is the surging CORD leader, the indomitable Raila Odinga. Then the picture cuts away to a listing ship with the word “Jubilee” emblazoned on its stern. Methinks the gathering political storms in the country could sire a new political realignment. I don’t know what “political potion” Mr Odinga imbibed in Boston, but it is clear Agwambo has a new lease of life.
My crystal ball tells me the most likely beneficiary of Mr Odinga’s rebirth is the wily Ruto. It doesn’t matter who among Mr Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta emerges the victor. Either way, Mr Ruto will be the bigger winner.
