High placed sources have revealed that the Deputy President has engaged in a series of high profile meetings in a bid to consolidate his base and lock his fortunes in the run up to 2022.
An insider from Ruto's office told Kenyans.co.ke that the DP has been eyeing the vote-rich Mt Kenya region as the region to give him his Deputy.
"He is keen to ensure that the mountain region is fully behind him. It will be also a way of saying thank-you to the people who supported the Uhuruto ticket in the past two elections," the source disclosed.

The Kirinyaga governor reportedly tops the list of the people that Ruto has met on several instances and has high chances of settling on her as a running mate.
Kenyans.co.ke learnt that the DP is considering Waiguru since she would help drive the Affirmative Agenda and help the country draw closer to having the first female president.
The duo reportedly has at least three meetings including at Ruto's Karen home, at a ranch in Nanyuki town and another one in Kirinyaga which was held in the sidelines of the 6th Annual Devolution Conference.
"Waiguru is being considered to be easily marketable given her demeanor and bringing on-board the Mt Kenya region would be a big win for the DP," the source disclosed.
