Tuesday June 22, 2021 -Jimmy Wanjigi’s entry into Kenyan politics could further complicate the 2022 arithmetic for all the hopefuls.
Weighing on the new political dynamics, political analyst Herman Manyora asked those planning to vie in 2022 to take serious the Wanjigi factor which has complicated the political matrix.
He added that the only man standing who may successfully face off with Wanjigi is Raila Odinga and not William Ruto since Mt Kenya Region could soon switch to Wanjigi team e’mass. He however predicted that not Raila nor Wanjigi could claim first round victory with a 50 Plus.
In his weekly Just-in-Time analysis, Mr. Manyora asked the deputy president to therefore start worrying about the entry of Jimmy Wanjigi into national politics and who has both means and ways to become anything he wants.
“Jimmy Wanjigi will be facing-off ODM party leader Raila Odinga and I can assure you it will be a battle that will not produce an outright winner.”
“There is going to be a runoff and in that case, Kenyans will decide,” Manyora stated.
This, according to Manyora, will see Ruto gasp for oxygen and finally bow out of the race leaving the field wide open for Wanjigi and Raila who might finally make the next dispensation.
