Even as the cracks between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy Dr. William Ruto continues to deepen, new details emerging alleges that Uhuru Kenyatta could be busy working on a formula that will see him hand over power to Raila Odinga and Gideon Moi in 2022.

Uhuru’s deteriorating relationship with William Ruto was well illustrated over the Weekend when Uhuru chose Raila Odinga over Ruto to read his speech at the Holy Family Basilica during the commemoration of Tom Mboya, who was assassinated 50 years ago.

Sources close to the two indicates that in any case, the ODM boss will not be interested with 2022 succession politics, then ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi will be considered for a coalition with Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.

According to private sources, Raila and Gideon strategists have been having secret meetings over the last few months as they plan Uhuru succession game plan. Gideon Moi has on many occasions insisted that he is willing to work with Raila Odinga in 2022 to liberate the country from ‘Den of Thieves’.

Also not left out is Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka who of late has found his way in the ruling Jubilee one faction side. Indeed, there are those who believe Kalonzo could be the surprise Uhuru choice citing the fact that it might be next to impossible for Uhuru to convince his Central backyard to elect Raila president when only the other year he had told the community that Raila is its worst enemy.

This was imminent through his recent appointment as South Sudan peace envoy. Uhuru had earlier sent him to represent him during the burial of DRC opposition leader, Etienne Tshisekedi, the father of DRC president Felix Tshisekedi. This proves beyond doubts that Uhuru could be having plans for Kalonzo in the next coming government.

Keen observers have already noticed that Gideon’s Kanu is busy networking and recruiting members countrywide. Wiper officials are also busy laying the ground. Recently, Raila’s ODM held a meeting in Nakuru to strategise and chart the path ahead.

It is worth noting that as anti-Ruto parties are also reorganizing themselves as Jubilee party is predicted to be on its deathbed. Sources in the know claim that Ruto’s enemies who surround Uhuru want Jubilee dead as part of their strategy to tame the DP’s presidential ambitions.

In fact, the sources further reveal that those who surround Uhuru but are opposed to Ruto are using the Kenyatta and Moi families to put to an end Ruto’s ambitions.

A story is told of how when Uhuru won his first term presidency, Gideon was driven to State House to congratulate him on his ascension to the throne. In that election, the Moi family was backing Mudavadi.

This proves that Musalia Mudavadi is likely to be fronted in 2022 by both the Kenyatta’s and Moi’s families with Gideon Moi as his deputy if at all Raila decides to hang his gloves

Unconfirmed reports say that apart from powerful members of Kenyatta and Odinga families that anointed the handshake deal, the Moi family through Gideon was privy to it.

In the handshake deal, one of the key components was to have Ruto isolated and secluded but to eventually bring Gideon as an emerging force in Kalenjin politics and eventually land on national front as a national leader.

For now, one thing that is clear is that the Kenyatta, Moi, Odinga families and powerful forces surrounding Uhuru fear Ruto presidency and will prefer a new face who will retain them in power and protect interests.

What will happen to cabinet secretaries Matiang’i, Sicily Kariuki, James Macharia, Joe Mucheru, Peter Munya and Karanja Kibicho, if Ruto is next president? many keep on asking. It remains to be seen whether the two will succeed in dethroning Ruto or their plans will just grumble at the end. Only time will tell.
