Deputy President William Ruto is currently deemed one of the most popular, powerful and experienced political personalities in the country.
He has recently succeeded in further proving this in the past few months, leaving his critics and rivals seeking answers.
Ruto took it easy after the recent truce between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He handled the surprise reunion in a mature way, despite some political quarters indicating that he too was caught off guard.
Unlike his counterparts in the opposition, who ended up shouting on top of their voices condemning the truce, Ruto welcomed it though it is clear that it might have surprised him too.
His current softness and humility is also a thing to note.The Deputy President seems to be preparing himself for the 2022 presidential race in a unique way.
Despite many observing this as the time he should be viciously biting at his possible rivals in 2022, he is doing the complete opposite of that.
He has lately transformed himself into a humble and soft spoken leader, a quality that could deliver more votes to his basket in the race.
His latest request to the political elite to stop politicking and concentrate on national development is further a surprise.
Coming at a time when he should be in the front line campaigning in his bid to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, he has taken the opposite route maintaining that Kenyans' interests come first.
This portrays him as a self-less leader who is more interested in the well being of his people and will further make it hard for his rivals to get past him in 2022.
