Kenya's Deputy President Dr.Willian Samoei Arap Ruto has grown political wings which the opposition leader Raila Odinga cannot uproot easily as the 2022 political temperatures continue rising.
Ruto who once was a political student of the opposition chief in ODM has been touted to be the next in line to replace President Uhuru Kenyatta as the commander in chief of the armed forces and head of the state.
Ruto has made himself a rock that can never just be wished away by any political bigwig in the country with his political scheme and strategy paying him a dividend.
As Kenya is bracing for a tough and intense political challenge come the next polls, the High Representative for Africa's Infrastructure Development Raila Odinga might get it hard to match the country's second in command.
Judging by his activities and traversing the country and marking political impacts with the Big Four Agenda, Ruto will be on the lead.
Ruto for the past one and a half years has managed to visit many parts of the country which has enabled him to win accolades from even the opposition politicians.
He is appreciated in parts of Kakamega, Bungoma, Kwale and TransNzoia which have been Raila Odinga support base for over two decades.
The developments Dr. Ruto has initiated in many parts of the Republic make an indisputable leader succeed his boss Uhuru Kenyatta.
