It is now official; the 2017 presidential election will be a return match of the 2013 bitter contest between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto on one half of the pitch and Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka on the other.

The referee is different and the Raila team has two additional strikers the flagship of National Super Alliance have since acquired; Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi and Chama Cha Mashinani and also Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto.
