Choice of party NOW is good indicator of popularity of party and candidate. Yes obviously 70 percent never make it back. Mps get elected because they delivered on their mandate (mostly development wise), remain connected to the people and are in correct party. Many good candidates or Mps are felled by being on wrong side. Just like Kariri Njamba was messed up by Jubilee.
Whoever wins UDA nomination in UDA stronghold would be very close to getting in.
If UDA nomination doesnt produce that 70 percent attrition then that nomination would be a sham.
So UDA election board should prepare for lots of cries - if they deliver credible nomination
And Ruto just like in 2017 should prepare to be accused of rigging these people out....the fallout really started from Jubilee nomination when many sitting Mps and governors were defeated. They are still crying foul in Mt Kenya. In RV - people know - Ruto doesnt interfere with nomination - friend or not - so watu kama Alfred Keter will win in UDA despite being a rebel.
Uhuru will probably be waiting to take advantage of that. That would be good re-entry point as many of these MPs will be looking for Uhuru then

- and will spin the same yarn that Ruto is finishing Mt kenya by selecting weak leaders.
UDA will bag most of the seats , still 70% of those sitting MPs wont make it.
Robina used to think sitting Mps matter.....Where did she go. She needs to come back.
