The Handshake and Political Realignments in Kenya

 The return of the handshake principals (Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta) to Kenya has been marked by notable silence and speculation. A rally planned for May 4th was abruptly canceled, leaving analysts and Kenyans in the dark. However, new developments suggest a shift in political strategy aimed at unifying key regions and neutralizing Deputy President William Ruto’s influence.

1. Strategic Moves in Luo Nyanza:

Raila Odinga’s ODM party is consolidating its base in Luo Nyanza. Efforts are being made to unite MPs who previously left ODM or were elected as independents.

2. Formation of "Team Komboa Kenya":

In Western Kenya, Moses Wetangula is spearheading a new group, "Team Komboa Kenya," claiming to represent ordinary Kenyans rather than aligning with "Tangatanga" (Ruto's faction) or "Kieleweke" (pro-handshake).

3. Rift Valley Politics:

Prominent Rift Valley leaders, including Zedekiah Bundotich (Buzeki) and former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto, are distancing themselves from Ruto's camp. Buzeki’s departure signals potential fragmentation within Ruto’s support base. Speculation suggests alliances are being formed to revive Isaac Ruto’s CCM party.

4. Implications for 2022 Elections:

The strategy appears to shift focus away from the Ruto-versus-handshake narrative, building a broader coalition under the guise of addressing "ordinary Kenyans’" grievances. The long-term goal is to dilute Ruto’s dominance in the Rift Valley and beyond.
