When Mudavadi defected from ODM and joined URP it was clear that this was a political move well crafted , we were sure this move not only will it cause jitters in ODM but also in G7 .The G7 alliance truth be told was an alliance built on betrayal by Raila to his former allies who had either in the past supported him and actually marshaled support for his presidential candidature which he lost in 2007. Raila not only betrayed the politicians but also the voters where the politicians came from and voters have not forgotten the betrayal but also are not ready to forgive.
By Ruto and Kalonzo showing signs that they are ready to support Raila presidential candidature will in the long run play against them . There is a substantial number of voters who dont want a Raila presidency and they will vote for a candidate who will be up against Raila come 2013. So come next year dont be surprised come elections to see a Raila vs Mudavadi contest.(With Mutunga hinting on the outcome of the integrity case ruling Uhuru and Ruto might not be in the ballot- Which is actually a good thing for the voters who dont want a Raila presidency)
