Deputy President William Ruto's Gusii campaign team retreated to 'study the opponent' before unleashing in their campaigns, it has been established.
For the last seven months, Mr. Ruto's team has been holding several activities across the populous region but has since gone underground.
One of the strategist, Job Ong'era said the team is studying the terrains before officially taking the 'fight' to opponents doors.
"We had to retreat for us to strategise. Sometimes you allow your opponent to unleash his cards before coming for him.
"As a team, we are keen to take the region and expect more in future. It's just going to drawing board so as we don't mess," he said.
Nyamira and Kisii Counties combined have a voting population of almost one million thus making them strategic for both Ruto and Raila Odinga.
In the recent past, youth leader Antony Kibagendi has been strategising for Ruto but for months now, he has been meeting youths selected from Gusii at his Harambee House Annex.
The youthful politician is trusted by the DP not only in organising for Gusii but also across the country.
