Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said that Raila is now irrelevant in Kenyan politics. Speaking in USA,Gachagua claimed that if Raila contests in 2027,Ruto will finish number 4 in that race.
“1 can tell you Raila Odinga brings nothing to the table. The Kambas were behind him, but they have left, the Kisiis have left, the Luhyas have left, the Masaais have left; the Luo nation has been divided in the middle, even if they are together, we will beat them 70 plus one.
If Raila decides to run, Ruto will be number four in the election, either way, he is one term, so there is no problem, do not be worried the people of Kenya have made decisions which are finalised and nothing will change, 70% of Kenyans do not want him back”
Right now,Ruto has lost support of most regions in Kenya—he is only relying on Luo and Kalenjin votes. The Luo votes are not reliable because Raila can bolt out any time.
