Democracy and justice are crucial tenets in post-Uhuru Kenyatta administration as espoused by allies of Deputy President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who are scrambling for the “freedom” mantra.     

While Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya has fashioned the candidature of Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua as a “Mandela Moment”, with reference to South Africa’s iconic freedom fighter, United Democratic Alliance’s (UDA) rivals of Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua are riding on a “freedom is coming” pledge.
