It took DP William Ruto 48 hours to decide on who between Kindiki Kithure and Rigathi Gachagua was to be his running mate
Even then, Kindiki was missing at Karen during the Gachagua unveiling.
Ruto’s first choice was clearly Kindiki. But his Meru community is numerically small…compared to the tyranny of Kikuyu numbers
Kindiki is a law Professor. But politics us ugly. Doesn’t value people with challenges of numbers…like the Meru.
Kindiki would have rented a political lesson from Kiraitu Murungi. The gaffer was close to Jaramogi Oginga..
But never became Ford Kenya party leader.
He was a darling of Kibaki…was not selected Vice President because Ameru are considered part of GEMA when the Maths isn’t adding up
DP Ruto is not a political idiot by any measure. He knew all along that a Kikuyu running mate is a must…if he has to keep hold of Mt. Kenya
And so he made Kindiki to believe he was on consideration for purposes of pretence and suspense
Kindiki must fight with others for position of Parliament speaker or seek the Governor position
He has to pay the ultimate prize that is the tyranny of numbers
