Pale at independence, kulikua na watu wa high ideals na it shows in the names they chose for political parties.
A name like KANU ( Kenya African National Union) ama KADU (Kenya African Democratic Union) makes sense.
Even mpaka 1992, their names made sense. But this is probably where strange parties begun showing up… FORD (Forum for the Restoration of Democracy) split up and became Ford-Asili and Ford-Kenya.
But majina zilianza kua funny sana especially after 2005. When people voted “No” in the referendum, the winners rebranded and called themselves the symbol of the no vote… Orange Democratic Movement. What exactly is an “Orange” Democratic Movement??
Alafu kuna Mkamba mwingine alienda uhuru park na aliambia watu “Haiya! Fanya Wiper!” as he waved at the crowd imitating the movement of a wiper. The crowd loved it! Saa kidogo, party yake ni Wiper Democratic movement. What exactly is a “Wiper” Democractic Movement? Do they want wipers to be Kenya’s next great export?
Alafu 2013 Uhuru formed a national party… TNA. With his billions, he couldnt be more creative or atleast hire someone who is. So you form a national party and call it The National Party??
Alafu kuna Maendeleo Chap Chap
Kenyans should vote for parties with sensible names banae. I for one cant understand how Kalonzo can sit with a straight face at the delegates conference of his party with a name like wiper. I think if it were me, my urge to laugh would get the better of me
The average voter doesn’t care about party names or even manifestos. They care about the party leader. ODM is Raila. FORD is Wetangula. Wiper is Kalonzo etc. You can name a party anything. So long as the owner is known.
Watu who call their parties such names are opportunists since they are clinging on to what’s popular at the moment to rebrand their parties. Wanaweza kua na integrity kweli?
Yeah Kuna wajamaa hawajui ODM got it’s ‘inspiration’ from the orange revolution in Ukraine both happened in 2005.
Whereas ya Ukraine ilikua a real revolution Hadi the sitting government wa overturned, hii ya huku ni copycat tactics za mganga as usual. When they were asked what the party symbol was gon be during the referendum, Babu kasema
“Mpe Mimi chungwa kama Ile ya Ukraine. Comrades power!”
bro umenikumbusha mbali sana. tna enzi zake iliweza sana. ilikuanga pale ktn sato after lunch. tna originals i.e samoa joe, aj styles, eric young, rhino, abyss, pete williams, alex shelley, tomko, team lax, christopher daniels, r-truth. too bad it went tumbling down after dixie carter started bringing in wwe staff. now its a shell of what it used to be.
I think we should beyond tribal politics to issue and policy based politics. That way a party is formed, named according to and is known for a particular stand on various issues governance and economics.
Alafu kuna ule dame wa Pantyless Party… what happened to her? Angestand for prez nimpigia kura if she promises to push through her agenda of a pantyless kenya
