Fresh political clouds are gathering in ODM leader Raila Odinga’s political enclaves of Nyanza, Western, and Coast regions as his reunion with President William Ruto entrenches Kenya Kwanza’s support in opposition zones.

The realignments have ushered in a debate on the prospects of President Ruto inheriting Raila’s support bases as the experienced opposition leader shifts his attention to continental politics.

Observers believe the recent events taking place in opposition zones could be a sign the ODM leader could be tactfully handing over his support bases to President Ruto.

It is a realignment that has brought together political brothers with a long history of working together but with intermittent pauses as they pursued personal political goals.
