Isaac Kiprono Rutto has served in various capacities beginning from Member of Parliament, minister and previously as the governor.
His controversies and show of might have kept him outside the government but these turns of events are normalcy to him.
In August 2017, Ruto lost Bomet gubernatorial seat to former Sotik MP Joice Laboso.
The duo had been at loggerheads since Laboso declared her interest for county's top seat.
Through the support of the Deputy President William Ruto, Laboso managed to send Isaac Rutto back to Tumoi area for half a decade waiting for the next contest.
Rutto recently declared his support to the Jubilee government, a decision that restored trust amongst his supporters.
In fact, rumours have that the Chama Cha Mashinani Party leader will be recalled for the top seat in government. This decision was highly motivated by complaints of 'loose-ground' in Labour's administration.
This workaholic ex-governor, call him a man of the people has been on the spotlight for South Rift politics. He arguably controls South Rift politics under the umbrella of the DP.
A notable incidence happened in October, where key Rift Valley leaders visited him. This was an extension of building bridges initiative that proved to Kenyans that Chama Cha Mashinani Party will be one pillar to the next government led by DP Ruto.
The former governor's legacy is ever bright and tight. Last month, he was forced by residents to make a stopover at Kaplong town. The residents complained of poor governance and some were heard lamenting for detaching him from power. This portrays that, Isaac Rutto has regained his support base.
