This is the narrative sold and brewed the Anti Gema feeling in 2007.
Mt Kenyans just like other Kenyans suffered during Kenyatta 1 and Kenyatta 2 .
During Kenyatta 2 , Their Businesses were destroyed by his administrations, They were evicted feom their home by his administration.
Even having elected him 3 Times Kenyatta2 sent goodies to Nyanza , Eastern and Coast Instead.
So the notion that Mt Kenya will be reminded of Kenyatta 1 by Kenyatta 2 so as to vote for Raila is plain hogwash, Delusion at its best.
Mt Kenya havr opposed BBI from word go, BBI is even doing better in Rift Valley if compared to Mt Kenya.
North Eastern Leads followed by Central, Actually If you add Mt Kenya parts from Eastwrn you will realise Mt Kenya leads in opposing BBI. Simply because of one reason Ehen they see BBI they see Raila.
The notion that Mt Kenya will divide its vote and give Raila a through pass is just wishful thinking .Seems ODM never learnt in 2013 elections when they though RV will do the same.
Ouru will get more than half Kikuyu votes. Kiuyus will be reminded that Kenyattaa made Kikuyus who they are today-nothing that Ruto can offer them. Even activists like Ngugi who used to bad mouth Kenyattaa now agree. He gave them more wealth and land than they could have imagined. He stole some but gave to the kikuyus tenfold. Let the campaigns begin. We saw how quickly Kikuyus who were opposed to BBI were turned around. Some of them may be opposed to RAO now because bad habits die hard, but nothing that a good sustained campaign can cure.
Uhuru seem keen to unite NASA and Kieleweke under Raila. I see you are still dreaming about Uhurutopia makeover. I know your precious MOASS are unpalatable for now - as all kahunas give Ruto a wide berth and Gema split unfavorably. Uhuru has all but toshad Raila: it's fair to say Raila has the 25% Jubilee is scoring vs Ruto 54% in Kiambu. That's bad since Ruto has not made any serious headway in NASA territory. If they stick together he is dead.
Dont throw figures carelessly like that. Please be patient for MOASS to tell you how the split if any will happen.
Post BBI - and Kiambaa - mass walkout of Jubilee - I want to see if Uhuru will stick to the very end or switch camps.
I still forsee Uhuru defecting to Ruto - he has the most to lose now - he can shout Ruto is corrupt but who will listen - Mama Ngina will take him to Ruto by his ears - otherwise next year ENKE might be dead - with Moi empire - as Ruto will let young ambitious guns to go for them. The young hustlers do not care about old reputation or revered families. They will take them on.
Raila of course will be worse - he could throw them in Shimo la TEWA - so they can get a taste of 9yrs Raila spent btw Manyani and Kamiti under Moi - and many years Jaramogi spent under house detention.
