President William Ruto has stepped up his efforts to inherit the late Raila Odinga’s rich support base, shifting his political strategy towards visible project implementation as he seeks to woo the region into backing his administration.

The move reflects a calculated attempt to consolidate goodwill through development at a time of political uncertainty following Odinga’s death.
