Miami Mayoral elections is a clear sign GOP is fully Kaput!

Signal is Ruto will win - by using the same methods - and that is all politicians wanted to hear - as signal or bellweather for 2032.

If UDA was terrible brand - then it would have still lost despite all that - it won - at it worst time - now 2027 development will fullsteam.

Politics is cutthroat competition for power.

You cant come and say - ohoo Ruto won using skullduggery - and 2027 what will change - he will deploy the same muscle.

It is why I advice opposition to at very minimum have BILLIONS of money.

Ruto beat GOV because he had billions and was willing to give out 10-20m.

Now he is operating 57m or 100M donations to churches - hiyo entire Pastor or Bishops of county - will sink Ruto name forever.
 
In kenya at very least have MONEY - Raila failed because of it.

You wont have police and security forces - but you can have money like SONKO

Uhuru did not kidnap anybody in Juja or Kiambaa, etc. Or use such violence.

I don't get how an anlyst like you sees any merit in this Moi-era tactics.
Even MOAS are meaningless if you revert to Suluhu or M7.

Can you run Uganda 2026 MOAS - where army run the elections.

The BIG signal was that Ruto is prepared to rig - and opposition have to gang up or die.

Long diatribe.
Kenya is not US.
Ruto won against Jubilee/ODM alliance who deployed exact state power against him.
The by-election has no losers.
Only winners.
UDA-ODM WON BIG.
And this has sent BIG signal.
And this in period when Ruto gov has been unpopular due to debt crisis, high taxes and no development.
Now development aka paving roads is all over kenya.
Ruto by 2026 end - will be unassailable.
Unbeatable

Well TIFA says 68% of Kenyans think they are worse off under Ruto.. you can't make this stuff up.
Kenyans don't even support Broad-Based or think anything of Ruto Singapore pipedream - they know it new version of bottom-up ponzi.

This tells you why there was a UDA "win" in Malava - but major losses to opposition in the same vicinity.

Opposition did not lose Malava because of money - their supporters were intimidated and Natembeyas kidnapped hours to D-day.
Democracy is a sport. There must be a modicum of fair rules. If the rules break down there is no need for the game.

If Ruto wants to use Moi-type ukora - there is no game opposition can pull. But obviously we will not call it it democracy.
Even MOAS are meaningless if you just stop opponents voting and/or supervising counting.
Literally you can "predict" M7 will win 2026 with 60-70% - but it means nothing. Because there is no democracy in Uganda.

Ruto can join big club of Suluhu, M7, etc - even Maduro and Putin claim to be elected and so popular.
But just like Nov 27 observer reports will be swift and loud: There was CHEATING. It is the dumb students who do that not the creme.

Trump insists we are heading into an economic boom in 2026... despite a 24% net disapproval rating.
