Published on October 5, 2019, President Uhuru Kenyatta's relationship with Deputy President William Ruto has been a subject of interest in Kenyan politics.
As the deputy president, Ruto has been kept out of sight in several government decisions, including the handshake between President Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Despite this, Ruto remains a strong political figure, with many seeing him as a potential threat to the president's agenda.
The recent Kibra by-election has raised questions about Ruto's intentions, with some speculating that he is trying to prove a point by supporting McDonald Mariga, a Jubilee aspirant.
Others have accused Ruto of being President Kenyatta's 'Judas goat,' used to gain political mileage in support of others.
As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Deputy President Ruto is a key player in Kenyan politics, and his actions will continue to shape the country's future.
