The DP, though quiet on his candidature lately, has since made it clear that he will be on the ballot, an announcement that has been repeatedly reiterated by his allies.

But Manyora says that apart from the emerging 'dynasty' and 'hustler' narratives between him and the leaders considered to be standing in his way, Ruto has a tougher job ahead.

Allies of Ruto who describes himself as a hustler, claiming that he rose from the ground, has accused the combination of President Uhuru Kenyatta, ODM leader Raila Odinga, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and ANC boss Musalia Mudavadi of being dynasties since their fathers served in previous regimes.

But Manyora says that as much as he cannot ignore the group which seems to unite against him, he also has to deal with the narrative that he is corrupt and therefore dangerous to Kenya.

"We also have the narrative from the other side that the Ruto side is so corrupt, that its made of thieves and the thieving is in such a level that nobody can entrust the leadership of such person in the hands of such a thief," he said.

He made the remarks on his YouTube analysis channel Take It or Leave It, Saturday morning.

He noted that as much as forces allied to the DP are saying leadership needs to go different it is being contradicted by the narrative that it should not be a corrupt person.

He noted that this further makes the race tougher and more complicated for the DP, who will now have to fight off the impression and perception that he is a thief.

"There are competing narratives; one is that you cannot give power to dynasties and the other is yes we can give the leadership of this country to anybody but not a thief because the level of corruption in the so-called hustler side is such that if you gave them this country they would steal all of it and put it in their pockets," he added.

But Ruto has repeatedly rubbished the corruption claims, saying that whoever has lost his money and found it in his accounts should raise the alarm.
