Felix Koskei President Ruto’s Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service reveals the Raila-Ruto deal could be in the offing.
While speaking on Sunday during a Thanksgiving service at St. Luke ACK Church Ndara Koluoch in Asembo, Siaya County, Koskei said that it was likely that Ruto and Raila would reach an agreement.
Koskei who is one of Ruto’s trusted allies, pointed out that the two had worked together before and that there was no reason why they couldn’t do so again right away.
He said that since Nyanza and the Rift Valley shared a millennia-old tie, a union between the two leaders was inevitable.
“I do not want to talk much because of my position, but you already understand what I am saying,” the Chief of Staff remarked.
To show proof that Ruto was keen to work with Raila, he explained that the president had given a brief to all government officials to develop every part of the country without discrimination.
“You have seen the President visiting the region and holding a cabinet meeting in Kisumu. It is a sign that the government is getting closer to the region,” he explained.

Koskei is continuing the charm offensive started by Ruto during his meet-the-people tour in the Nyanza region last week.
“I was Raila’s ardent supporter and I and others came together and we supported him but unfortunately we never got the presidency,” Ruto while touring Homa Bay County remarked on his relationship with Raila.
“I have voted for Baba and I am calling on him to support me in 2027.”
However, Raila on Sunday responded to Ruto’s remarks adding that it will not make him abandon Azimio Coalition members including Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
The Azimio leader pledged to support his co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka in the 2027 presidential elections.
“This man we have stood with him together since the KANU regime, we went ahead together to NDP, we went to NARC and even to ODM and we have stood with him twice,” he spoke of Kalonzo.
