The political harvest season is here and Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga are not taking chances as realignments take shape ahead of the 2022 General Election.

The two are laying strategies to win support as they receive defectors from rival political camps.  The DP’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) continued on a winning streak for the last two weeks consecutively with a huge catch of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and six Members of Parliament.
