Political analyst Ambrose Weda now says that Kenyans should expect more leaders to join Deputy President William Ruto's bandwagon ahead of the fast approaching 2022 polls.
Ruto has been attracting more and more leaders lately, most of whom have openly endorsed his 2022 presidential bid, some of whom are drawn from the opposition side.
Speaking on Wednesday, the commentator said that politicians are simply drifting towards the side they think is most likely to win in the much anticipated elections.
"The people are placing themselves around the Deputy President because he appears closer to the presidency. They want to be part of the winning team," he said.
The commentator was speaking in an interview on The Big Conversation, on KBC English Service, Wednesday morning.
He said that the attraction also has something to do with Ruto as a person, his generosity and the hard work he has shown since himself and President Uhuru Kenyatta won.
"Ruto is also very generous. He is also very hardworking, which makes more people want to associate themselves with him," he added.
Among the latest entrants into the DP's camp is former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, a former opposition diehard who is now in the front line in popularizing Ruto's bid.
A section of politicians initially allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta have also declared their support for Ruto, despite Uhuru's calls for them to shun politicking for now.
