The DP has many reasons to fix his eyes on the poll which is however 3 years ago, and the elections, especially the presidential contest, is matter of life and death for him.

2022 will either make or break Ruto, considering that he has since declared his bid for the presidency in the much anticipated contest.

A win would make him the most powerful man in the nation for the next five years.

It eill also hsnd him a slot in the books of history as the fifth person to hold the highest position in Kenya, a record only few would reject.

This will also be his time to clear the doubts some Kenyans have about him, including his many unproved implications in corruption.

If indeed the allegations are true, then he will be banking on the polls to hand him power to probably cleanse himself, since he will be having all the instruments of power with him.

A loss could subject him to unending problems, especially in the instance that an opposition figure ascends to the throne, and will be out under unending probes and investigations.

All the corruption scandals that have been reported during the Jubilee tenure will land at his doorstep.

This could result to frustrations and possible conviction if found guilty, which would be embarrassing.

This is a situation only a win in the polls can save him from or at least postpone.

A loss could also trigger the revival of his cases at the International Criminal Court (ICC) where he faced charges of crimes against humanity before himself and President Uhuru Kenyatta came to power.

2022 will give him the opportunity to prove that he is indeed the strongest and most influential leader in the nation, as compared to the likes of opposition boss Raila Odinga.

Therefore, expecting Ruto to remain calm at this time is be laugable, as he is only a few years to the moment that can either make or break him.

Actually, more and more restlessness should be expected in his camp as the race dwlraws nearer.
