Why OKA game plan may be headache for Raila and Ruto

The political standoff and suspicion in One Kenya Alliance (OKA) now threatens to alter the succession race as Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) and Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) insist on running for presidency.

The stance by the duo is likely to have a bearing on the chances of the perceived front runners in the presidential race – Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga – winning in the first round as they could eat into their support bases.

Analysts reckon that having a strong third force could cause a rerun by denying Ruto and Raila 50 per cent plus one vote in the first round.

But by choosing to run individually, analysts argue that Kalonzo and Mudavadi’s influence in the political scene could diminish, making their candidature inconsequential in the final outcome of the elections.

The Wiper and ANC leaders have in the past contested for presidency but came a distant third in the polls.
