These recent developments in the G7 alliance that have seen Uhuru Kenyatta meet with the Gema leaders to seek their support and Ruto meeting today with Kamatusa to endorse him are not coming as a surprise to many Kenyans.
This is not a surprise because it was clear from the start that it was Uhuru's central + Ruto's Rift Valley Verses Raila's Luos. the others are just but spectators in the whole equation.
It is not also a surprise because it clearly shows that these two have their own interests at heart; that is, being the presidential candidate for the G7.
Without the mantle, they are likely not to get the full support of their communities because of the vast pressure from their respective tribes that they must be the one.
It is no secret that after the 2007 general election that Kenyan politicians don't trust each other and never will in a long time to come. Uhuru and Ruto are no exception.
If you remember Martha Karua and how she fiercely defended Kibaki's regime during the crising and how she is now the one plotting how to bring it down, then you will understand what am talking about.
These two- Uhuru and Ruto are slowly pushing each other to the wall and it will be very interesting to see how they hold up.
