They say a day in politics is a long time. In Kenyan politics, a month sometimes can appear like a decade. A few months ago, the talk in town was that farasi ni wawili. Loosely to mean that in next year's elections, the men to beat were William Ruto and Raila Odinga. As for the party tickets the two would have used, few cared.
In less than three months, the political ground has shifted significantly, and you can take this to the bank that farasi sio wawili anymore. For one, several credible potential candidates have now reared their heads and have support from certain quarters. Whether they end up dislodging Raila and Ruto from pole position will be clear soon.
