President William Ruto will drop deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as his running mate in the 2027 Presidential elections, Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi now claims.
In a statement, the analyst says that the President will pick prime cabinet secretary Musalia Mudavadi as his running mate.
He opines that this will be part of President Ruto's plan to downsize the Kikuyu adding that it will be difficult for them to make a comeback without a major effort like that of former opposition leader Kenneth Matiba.
"Mudavadi will be Ruto's running mate in 2027. Kikuyus will be downsized and will need a Kenneth Matiba to regain relevance," he tweeted.

The controversial analyst's remarks come at a time when a section of Kenyans has been questioning the qualification of Gachagua for the role of deputy president.
The DP has been making remarks which have been deemed to be soiling the image of his office and that of his boss.
His remarks on opening the forest for farming attracted czar criticisms from a section of Kenyans who labelled it as reckless.
His continuous reference to the past political happenings at times when they are required to settle in the government and deliver their development agenda has also harangued a section of Kenyans.
Considering that Kenya is years away from the General Election, it is a matter of time before one can tell whether indeed the president might change his deputy.
