Politics in Kenya is about, bring your people, I will bring mine …then together we will have the most Kenyans under our fold.
It therefore calls for each player to galvanize his own turf. Each one to go for 90+% from his people.
Indeed, in 2013 Central and Rift Valley contributed immensely to getting UHuruto elected. Without any of these, it wouldn’t have been possible for the beautiful story to be told.
…but it is totally different in 2017.
The Prez will most definitely bring the over 90%… but his deputy? I don’t think so.
See, Gov. Rutto has messed up the math in Bomet. Don’t be quick to dismiss him. He still commands significant support in his county.
Turkana voted in Nanok. While the prez was touring the area, he was annoyed and burst out in front of the populace. One thing you should know is that Wafugaji trust their local leaders more than foreign. This built Nanok’s stature among his people. Mark you he was advocating for a higher percentage of oil income to be retained.
Eldoret. Sitasema mengi but tembea huko usikie vile guys ain’t so Ruto as is supposed to… and then him and Mandago not being cool with each other may play a big factor
Maasai country is split in the middle and therefore can’t go Riftvalley in the elections
Baringo. It’s complicated. First the rivalry between Depper and Gideon that led to the latter being told that he can’t speak Kalenjin and should therefore hush. At Mark Too funeral Gideon spoke in fluent kikale and thus winning more of his people over. Secondly, the kalez respect moi so much. Thus Maj leader about him hiding in the bush in '82 eroded their belief in uhuruto. Third, the ongoing well deserved military operation there will surely erode support for the gaament. Baringo will vote less for uhuruto than in 2013.
Laikipia. You saw it on TV yesterday. It’s gone.
Well, if I am him, I would restrategize on the rift. I would camp there till august 8th. Good thing, Depper has the capability of delivering Rift Valley votes back to the Boss
