It’s certainly clear that Mt. Kenya won’t be fronting a formidable Presidential candidate come 2022.
But be that as it may, Mt. Kenya Region is left to ponder as to how long they want to be out of government.
This issue of how long we want to be our of government despite our numerical strength is pertinent and the same will be determined by various factors among them, the choice of a presidential candidate we shall choose to support come 2022.
Granted that the Kikuyus and the Kalenjins have been in power for decades now, which power notoriety has caused fatigue to other communities noting that we are a tribal nation.
We might have to ponder with the fact that it’s not plausible that Ruto will nominate a running mate from Mt. Kenya region due the fact that he would obviously want to break the presidential candidature oscillations notoriety.
However whether Ruto picks a running mate from the Mountain or not, supporting him will be politically fatal for the future political destiny of the mountain due to the national fatigue of the Kikuyu/Kalenjin monotony.
This means that in the event Ruto becomes the president, he will be perpetuating this monotony thus causing further national political fatigue for other communities.
Thus if the mountain wants to be politically relevant come 2027, they must thus take part in breaking this political monotony by supporting any other candidate who is not captive of the Kikuyu/kalenjin monotony.
Why this, then, simply because it will be humanly impossible to vote a Kikuyu presidency to follow after or to oscillate with a kalenjins presidency in the event Ruto takes in 2022.
The mountain must thus take part in breaking this political monotony or call it political monopoly by supporting and voting a non- Kalenjin president.
