Does this mean William Ruto is absolutely destined to lose the August elections? Historical precedent and the dialectical odds dictate so. However, as Thomas Kuhn demonstrates in his Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), there are moments of anomalies where the established paradigm is shuttered leading to a methodological and theoretical rethinking within the scientific community. In other words, a Ruto win in August is possible, but it would be such an extraordinary accomplishment, given historical precedent and dialectical dictates, that it will lead us to rethink and retheorise our political realities and possibilities. Wanjala S. Nasong’o is a Professor of International Studies, Rhodes College, Memphis, Tennessee and Carnegie African Diaspora Fellow, St. Paul’s University, Limuru, Kenya. We are waiting for Wanjala to do the RETHNKING AND RETHEORISING since Ruto has defied all the odds against him and has been elected as a fifth Kenyan President to the disappointment of WAnjala's very long article!
