You're really ignorant. Tribal kingdom are not inherited. They are earned. You earn community trust by showing leadership - first you need to win over community leaders - and then the grassroot. If you cannot get even two MCAs to support you - you're DOA.
GEMA don't have an heir apparent - Ruto worked behind the scenes to kill many upstarts - and so now - they are stuck. Uhuru orphans have been in delusion that Uhuru can somehow continues. Not happening.
Now we are facing a prospect where GEMA will divide into two groups if Uhuru and Ruto don't reconile.
As for other communities - Kamba are having issues - Kalonzo has misfired so much - he has basically lost support. maDVD has refused to get out of Maragoliland. Weta has decided enough of being overambitious and gone to the ground...so Bukusu is free for taking. Mukhisa is stuck in the UN and has no ground game.
Mijikenda and coast are trying to do something - I think Kingi and Mvurya if they agree on a lineup - and get a coast party - could become players. Joho is seen as swahili impostor and has no hope - when Mijikenda now have money from counties. My money is on Kingi - Mvurya not ambitious.
Matiangi is new dynamic in Gusiiland. If he plays right - he could inherit Gusii political kingdom - but he is not natural politician and is used to bulldozing his way.Maasai post Ntimama days have yet to find a succesor - Ole Kina ledama has the raw materials - but need refinement.
I think Duale pretty much accepted as leader of cushites - and such tribes. But he is gone underground - and need to emerge to champion it - otherwise somoene like current finance minister could be the new kid.
So things do change...politics is dynamic...cut-throat.
So as we head to 2022 - Ruto has his game on - and Raila is distant 2nd. GEMA is the elephant in the house - and we will find out soon enough - how it play out there. It not going to be easy to impose a leader or force them to one way. Humans are not like that.
Hustler is an okay rallying cry - akin to reform - but basically means nothing without the tribal gods. Kanu died because Raila pulled trojan - bolted with ragtag Rainbow of Kalonzos, Ntimamas, Saitotis - to gang up with Kibaki, Wamalwa, Ngilu. Not any ideological "revolution" or awakening. Maasai voted Ntimama goldwrapped as cattle insurance - Luhya voted Kijana Wamalwa. That explain why Raila or Mobutu workhorses got no 2 or 3 in lineup - as kingmakers - exactly what they were worth. Cause "message" cannot beat tribe.
And someone's working hard to teach us Kenyatta was homeguard Moi went senile he was never overthrown - I mean a whole 5 years later he was 85. Kibaki literally handed over Gema to Uhuru also at 80s. Even Obado or Babu Owino or Miguna will take over Luo as Raila clock 80s and wither - and call it coup Spin requires lots of intelligence.
Kikuyus never violently displaced anyone, they hustled with meager resources and formed cooperatives, bought land on Willing buyer seller agreement, turned jungle and deserts into productive land. The hustler should be pointing at these people as an example of hustle and resilience not butchering them. For those who sold the land, they should and die with the guilt of selling something that later turned out to be very valuable and denied their descendants inheritance, they should look in and not out. I will echo Kichwa, anyone expecting Kikuyus to turn on their own is dreaming, mungiki tried and we saw how many votes they got Raila. If Ruto imagines that he can win the presidency with kikuyu boda boda operators, good luck. This far I haven’t spoken to anyone of substance who is sold on Ruto, there is a silent out there. Uhuru hasn’t even hit the road yet, he will not be selling Raila but team Kenya, it will be taka taka vs team Kenya. BBI will produce a line up that will be hard for Kenyans to resist. There will be sharing of power and this is something Kenya is crying for. If it’s not done by constitutional change, team Kenya will form a representative team that looks like Kenya. Good luck going against that with your wheelbarrows and rungu waving.
