As the succession politics continue taking shape, the electorate would still have the final word on who shall be President Uhuru Kenyatta's successor in 2022.
The Deputy President has been fronted as the best successor and with his firebrand politics traversing the country places him on top of the pecking order.
Ruto has arguably managed to win accolades in some regions touted as Raila Odinga's strong bases.
He has also found foot soldiers in such areas in readiness for 2022.
The country's second in command has been visiting Western region several times than any other politician in the Country and has apparently managed to break the Odinga dominance.
Of the four counties, Ruto has been in each county with Kakamega being his resting ground. This has enabled him to win the trust of Ford Kenya deputy party leader Dr.Bony Khalwale.
Ruto has also found trust in Bungoma county especially Kimilili and Sirisia constituencies. The area MPs Didmus Baraza and Maj. John Waluke are already assuring him of their total commitment towards his bid for the top seat.
Ruto's entrance to the region breaks the Odinga dominance which has lasted for decades.
Ruto has also been in the coast region despite the hurdles but managed to win Raila Odinga's longtime supporters like Aisha Jumwa and Suleiman Dori.
