Until voting day anything can happen. This is the week where candidates pull all final minutes stunts. Kidnapping, witchcraft, name it. Kabogo was winning until final two days when propaganda with vidoes was spread showing him - asking women to line up like dogs titties - and telling kiambu something about their innerware - Waitutu beat him like Isukuti drum.
These are the most critical days - you have to MEASURE YOUR WORDS - there is no recovery - Raila committed a grave mistake - after Mitumba one - the problem now is any mistake you cannot recover because IEBC will close campaign on saturday. Last time - Raila went to Kajiado - said kila mtu arudi kwao kind of talk - he lost Kajiado by 20 percent.
And those kind of desperate strategies cannot work. What works is popular appeal. Buying Ids in presidential election - how stupid can one be? If it MCA by-election yes - but presidential election - that is losing strategy - because for all that hardwork of tracing, buying and paying - you can easily convert people using propaganda.
Some of those strategies cannot be scaled without becoming organisationally combersome and costly - 2K to be given out - means you need another 2K for admin or for the briber - for one vote - you will spend 5k. To buy a million votes - you need 5B kshs - and lots of time. And you will end up buying people who didnt even intend to vote anyway...this election...about 5-6 million will not vote!!
What works last minute is devastating dangerous propaganda. Uhuru is being knocked down by UDA because he made mistake in Nakuru to threaten Ruto, Rigathi, Ndidi and Kuria. Raila was already on the ropes on christianity issues - and that muslim women thing is almost insanity - why would he say that?
For now its better if Raila and Uhuru shutdown...because they are committing crazy errors. After Mitumba - this church thing - and now Uhuru killing people - those are propaganda - that are being lumped together with hustler-v-dynasty.
the elections were decided a month ago. now is just about get out to vote and destroying opponent votes via bribery. ids are going for 2k in gema uda strongholds. Young men are selling their votes in droves..Sunday and Monday next week you will see all type of vote buying
