You say at the beginning that Kenyans will vote on identity, not ideas. Yet, what brought Ruto to power, and what surveys like Afrobarometer prove, was his focus on central issues as opposed to identity politics. Therefore, thinking that another candidate won’t do the same thing to defeat him belies the state of Kenyan voters.
I hope this reaches the right ears! Maraga needs to start building his team, but you are right that “You can’t eat constitutionalism”

Maraga would be the 'saintly newcomer', which Ken says will be a mistake.
