With just 45 days to the polls, presidential candidates Raila Odinga and William Ruto have lined up point men to boost their voter turnout in the Rift Valley region.

While Raila, the Azimio coalition presidential candidate, has picked on many seasoned politicians, Ruto, the Kenya Kwanza Alliance flag bearer, has settled on upcoming politicians in the scramble for 5.3 million votes.
