In the first term of the Jubilee administration, President Uhuru Kenyatta made his deputy Kenya’s fifth president. This happened in 2014 when he surrendered the presidency and presidential motorcade to William Ruto so as to attend court at The Hague.
Things, however, changed post-2017 elections. The worst Jubilee political insider trading happened when Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga shook hands, a handshake that later mutated into the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). This triggered a political chess game between the president and his deputy.
