Uhuru had garnered 6,173,433 votes out of 12,330,028 total votes cast in the March 4 General Election against his closest rival Raila Odinga who managed 5,340,546 votes. Uhuru who had flown the Jubilee flag had managed to secure 50.07 per cent of the vote – a requisite for one to be declared winner of an election. The announcement brought jubilation to Uhuru supporters as well as those of William Samoei Ruto, his running mate, even as it brought sorrow and disappointment to Raila and Kalonzo Musyoka supporters. Raila and Kalonzo who were flying the Cord flag disputed the results and moved to the Supreme Court to contest the results. However, the six-judge bench of Supreme Court unanimously confirmed UhuRuto win, setting the stage for their inauguration on April 9. However, the story of both Uhuru and Ruto’s journey to victory had been long and tumultuous. Not that Uhuru and Ruto were strange bedfellows but they had faced similar obstacles that could have blocked them from ascending to power. In December 2010, Uhuru and Ruto, alongside former Minster Henry Kosgey, former Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura, former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and radio journalist Joshua arap Sang were named by ICC prosecutor as bearing the greatest responsibility for the 2007/8 post-election violence in which over 1,500 Kenyans were killed. But in what appears to be a blessing in disguise, the common predicament facing the duo (Uhuru and Ruto) became a glue that cemented their political alliance. The two, who hitherto were political enemies, devised a plot to use ICC cases to lobby support amongst their communities by alleging that The Hague-based court was being used by rivals who were kin to eliminate them from the Kibaki succession. The message seemed to have sunk well, with Central and Rift Valley becoming strongholds of the two leaders. Buoyed by the unprecedented support, Uhuru and Ruto began nationwide prayer rallies, which were largely used to bash the ICC and its local ‘ally’ and antagonist Raila Odinga.
