Good morning fellow Kenyans,
There is no doubt serious cracks are emerging on President Uhuru Kenyatta and his handshake partner Raila Odinga alliance, especially the last few days.
These speculations were fueled further by reports that a meeting to mark three years of the handshake failed to materialise on Monday after the ODM chief was reportedly held up for the better part of the day at his Capitol Hill office.
Well, we may be reading too much into it too soon but, you know what they say, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Moreover, former Senate Majority Whip and Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata over the weekend said that the political romance between Uhuru and Raila is ‘officially over’.
Almost simultaneously, hints of a possible pre-election alliance between Raila and his political nemesis Deputy President William Ruto have been growing in the last few days with the former PM’s brother Dr. Oburu Odinga saying nothing could stop the two working together if circumstances necessitated.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria also issued a bold prediction of an alliance between the two political foes claiming that Raila would use the unlikely pact as his last-ditch effort to ensure that he’s still in government.
However, Siaya Senator ruled out the possibilities of the two friends-turned-foes working together in the near future since it would only derail ODM’S aspirations.
Therefore, today we ask you, do you think the Uhuru-Raila alliance is doomed, and do you believe the former PM could team up with Ruto for a super 2022 coalition?
