Deputy President William Ruto should seize the moment and direct his attention towards the opposition-allied Luo Nyanza region.
The DP who has already hinted at vying for the presidency in the 2022 general elections, has been frequenting the Luo-Kuria Migori county and paying less attention to purely Luo regions instead.
It is time he maximizes on the current political calm, courtesy of the March 9 truce between President Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga to achieve as much as possible in the vote-rich region.
Politics being a dynamic game, the calm might not last to the 2022 campaign periods, again subjecting him to the hostility has faced in the region for quite some time.
This will consequently deny him the good chance he now has to invade the region.
The race could also see him run against Raila, a factor that will again make the terrain very rough for him considering that Raila is a homeboy in the region.
The DP has to move with speed and make moves before Raila announces his bid.
Also, since he has succeeded in making the nation believe that his weekly fundraisers are out of goodwill, he should now direct it to Nyanza.
This is because neglecting some regions will later blow his cover, proving right the people who have been claiming that it is a campaign formula.
