It simply means he lost fairly... otherwise if there was a chance for repeat in Meru joining NASA would be suicidal. He's milking his mheshimiwa status.
Yeah, reminds me of an argument I had with another negro over Shabhal. He reckons that he was a real threat to Joho because he lost not by much in 2013.
I told him back then both Joho and Shabhal were behind Babu, and now being in Jubilee vidu vichenjanga.
The results proved me right. Shabhal got 50% of his 2013 results. Similarly, Munya with Babu will be like Rutto; a pariah.
But he's NASWA's biggest Mt Kenya catch yet so he'll be treasured should NASWA win. If they lose......
