By the way, President Ruto's decision to impeach Gachagua may have been a mistake. Going forward, Kenya could end up in a situation similar to Senegal, where it appears as though there are two centers of power.
Future running mates may no longer fully trust their presidents. Instead, both leaders will want to build and maintain strong blocs of MPs loyal to them, creating parallel power structures within government.
This is also why ODM does not fully trust Ruto and is insisting on zoning arrangements that will guarantee it a substantial number of MPs, making it harder for Ruto to sideline or shortchange the party in the future.
