Title: Sakaja - a kalenjin - set to become Nairobi senator
Post by: RV Pundit on April 28, 2017, 04:24:12 PM
Many people don't know Sakaja is a sabaot. I know his father Sakaja - use to own pub in railway - ex-civil servant..

I think you mean senator. That governor seat has its owners and Kales are nowhere near it. Even MCA in Nairobi will be a hercules task for a Kale.

My friend won MCA jubilee seat for South C ward. And Generali Korir is flying Jubilee ticket in Langat. This time Korir imported votes after losing narrowly. Combined Kalenjins in Nairobi are sizeable..if only they were to stay around and register.

No seat in Nairobi has owners. Sonko is winning not because of tribe but because of who he is..and so is Sakaja.

In the primary one is supposed to win for who the are, however, in the general elections Party affiliation is going to play a bigger role.  These will definitely be very interesting elections.  The electorate is very charged. Kidero can only win against Sonko if he ties his re-election bid tightly to NASA.

Kidero is gone. It going to be herculean task to beat GEMA(33%)+Kambas(17%) in Nairobi. And trust me even lower class Luos and Luhyas will vote Sonko. Sonko & Sakaja are new breed of leaders who don't know Tribe. These are born town kids whose mother tongue is sheng.

Note: During 2013 - Sonko won more votes than anybody in Nairobi; Kidero, Raila and Uhuru. That means he was able to attract both Jubilee and CORD votes.

Kidero should relocate to Asumbi and try Homebay county before it's too late :) :) . We advised PK to try Muranga but he couldn't listen. See how badly he has been beaten despite coming from large tribe by far in Nairobi.

I would never underestimate Sonko but there is a reason why we have campaigns and elections. Its not over until the fat lady sings.

Sonko's influence has waned somewhat. If it were before 2014 he would pulverized PK.

I think it will go to the wire. I am conscious of the desire by Ruto not to have a threat from within Jubilee. I don't think he would ignore the climbing Sonko.

On Kamba votes: Sonko will claim some but will lose many. Yes some Luhyas and Luos may vote for Sonko just like traditionally Raila gets more Kikuyu votes in Nairobi and Kiambu than anywhere else. That will balance giving the NASA tribes the tie-breaking role.

I am not sure if the many Murang'a Kikuyus will enthusiastically vote for Sonko. There was a lot of bad blood characterized by fights and even one or two deaths. They may abstain or try to screw him by voting Kidero.

Remember Kidero faces no primaries. He will rely on Aladwa and may be Passaris to mobilize some votes. Passaris is no vote winner but then every vote counts.

That said, I have to admit the primaries are no indicator of who will win what.

I think all Sonko need to do is appoint safe pair of hands as deputy governor from Kikuyu.

Yeah - he swam against the tide by supporting kibaki and Uhuru - and his not so common name also helps.
