This is Kenya. Political parties are contained in an individual’s briefcase. Exit the don, death shrouds the party; it does completely or reduced to a meek rodent curled under the seat of power waiting for crumbs. Where is Kanu post-Moi? DP NARC and PNU post-Kibaki? Uhuru is keeping the Jubilee flame otherwise it would be walking in the valley of the shadow of death. Raila Amolo Odinga, wuod Jaramogi, wuod nyarAlego, owadgiAkinyi, was ODM and ODM was he; ODM is no exception, it will die. I should even have said, it is dying.
Death pangs are upon it. To secure the Luo vote, Kasongo is contemplating having Gladys Wanga as a running mate. This would mean UDA swallowing ODM, because if there is any lesson kasongo learnt from the kachakua debacle, it is that coalitions are tricky and it is
easier to tame a deputy when they belong to your party. James Bob Aggrey Orengo has smelled the coffee and has fired a shot that ODM should not head that way. It is clear we have to streams of thought in ODM or should I say factions?
