Though he has stamped his authority in Rift Valley politics as the undisputed kingpin, President William Ruto will soon exit the stage.
Assuming he goes for two terms, in 2032, Dr Ruto must be exiting the political scene and embark on a new journey in retirement. And obviously, the battle to take over the baton from him must be quietly brewing behind the scenes.
Though there is a general feeling that Transport Cabinet Secretary Kiipchumba Murkomen is being groomed to succeed Ruto as Rift Valley regional kingpin, things might change.

The emergence of Narok County Senator Ledama Ole Kina as one of the leading political voices in the region, could end up spoiling the party for those coalescing around the Head of State.
The fiery and sometimes controversial ODM senator is one of the most famous and also popular politicians in the country.
Though he has been in the game for less than a decade, but Ole Kina has already won the hearts of many and has a legion of followers.
Depending with how the Ruto adminstration will perform by the time he leaves office, people will look for an alternative voice in the Rift Valley region especially if the economic situation worsens.
As the leading opposition voice in the region, the fiery ODM legislator could pull a surprise and succeed Ruto as the Rift Valley political supremo. Write him off at your own risk!
