Oburu (Eala MP) and Gideon Ochanda (Bondo) say their party is working on a strategy that would guarantee them a win in the 2022 presidential race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the current political landscape, anyone planning to win the presidential election will have to form a coalition with others,\u201d said Ochanda.<\/p>\n<p>Oburu said it was natural in politics to have alliances, arguing that ODM, being a significant player, was no exception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur existence is significant and we can\u2019t go into isolation. We are already working with other parties and would have pre- and post-election alliances,\u201d said Oburu, adding that this will however depend on many factors such as the outcome of the BBI.<\/p>\n<p>Ruto, on the other hand, has also launched an aggressive campaign in consolidating his Rift Valley support base by courting Isaac, West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo, who came to office on a Kanu ticket, and Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok, elected on an ODM ticket.<\/p>\n<p>In the same breath, the DP, who has since identified United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as a possible vehicle for 2022, is in a race to bag former political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Former Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar, his Kakamega counterpart Boni Khalwale, Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa, former ANC Secretary General Barrack Muluka and Eliud Owalo, a former Raila campaign strategist, are some of the individuals in the DP\u2019s camp ahead of the next poll.<\/p>\n<p>Ruto is keen to succeed President Kenyatta in 2022 and is using a strategy of \u2018mop up every one and scatter none\u2019 to catapult him to State House.<\/p>\n<p>The projected re-branding of Kadu Asili was seen as the latest in the strategy by the DP to work with different political parties that will ensure all political regions are covered before the General Election.<\/p>\n<p>The plan, however, came a cropper when the party\u2019s top officials refused to let go, ruining efforts by the DP\u2019s allies to make the outfit their regional vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>There had been talk by Jumwa and her Kilifi North counterpart Owen Baya of taking over the party and rebranding it, plans that have now been put on hold after party leader Gerald Thoya lodged a complaint with Registrar of Political parties Anne Nderitu of \u201cinfringement by people with intent of throwing the party into disrepute\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are building networks across the entire region, we have approached several leaders and the reception is overwhelming, people are saying this should have happened yesterday, we are quite upbeat about our party,\u201d said Baya in an earlier interview.<\/p>\n<p>There are at least six parties currently allied to the DP that have been strategically placed to help him ensure that he wins majority of governors, MPs and MCAs in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from UDA and CCM, Ruto has affiliation to Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria\u2019s People\u2019s Empowerment Party (PEP), former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri\u2019s The Service Party (TSP) and Muungano Party associated with Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana.<\/p>\n<p>Others are People\u2019s Democratic Party associated with former South Mugirango MP Omingo Magara and the New Democrats Party.<\/p>\n<p>Magara worked closely with Ruto in the wound up United Republican Party (URP) before they fell out.<\/p>\n<p>Movement for Democracy and Growth, led by Ugenya MP David Ochieng, has also been associated with the DP. During a 2018 by-election in which Ochieng won back the seat, most ODM MPs said those voting for the legislator would be doing Ruto\u2019s\u00a0 bidding.<\/p>\n<p>Ruto\u2019s political nemesis, Raila, last week held a series of meetings, including with the Kikuyu Council of Elders, where he announced plans to tour the Mt Kenya region.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, Raila met ODM\u2019s 47 county chairpersons ahead of a similar meeting with governors and MCAs. The question, however, remains how the political landscape will look in 2022, given the fluid nature of Kenya\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Politicians eyeing State House have adopted a two-pronged approach to solidify their chances of clinching the top seat in the 2022 General Election.
