Lots of false assumption.
Like assuming that of 8.2M votes GEMA total votes were 5.5M.
5.5m was about the total registered gema votes - roughly 28 percent - higher than their population quota.
Those that actually turned and voted were about 4.6m - about half of Uhuru votes - roughly 28 percent.
Now for Uhuru to take 2.2m - you're saying Uhuru will take half of GEMA votes.
That is improbable but even if we give it to Jakom - and give him to Kalonzo he still wont win.
The reason is obvious Luhya votes is bigger than Kambas votes.
If you assume that Raila will lose half of what he got to maDVD+Weta - then you're talking more than a million votes - if you assume Luhya total votes are 2million plus - but their turnout normally aint good.
So again you see keep Kalonzo,
Lose MaDVD+Weta
Gain in Mt Kenya - a little from lameduck who has been abandoned.
Zero sum game - you're back to 45 percent.
Unless of course you win half of GEMA - 2.2m votes you're talking about.
Then it becomes very close call.
Though Kalenjin have edge of nearly 0.4m votes over Luos.
The rest is essentially win here; lose here;
So Raila path to victory is to
1) Get Kalonzon onboard - and pray Kambas dont revolt due to fatigue. That is the bare minimum before we talk
2) Pray for half of GEMA votes. All evidence suggest that is mountain to climb....as more and more leaders are leaving uhuru jubilee.
3) Pray that western kenya doesnt become a disaster....given maDVD+Weta are getting their groove back.
Let me make it easy for you,you are going the long way for nothing.Uhuru got 8.2 million votes in 2017.out of this,direct GEMA votes were about 5.5 million.Assume Uhuru sways 40% of this GEMA vote on his side,(2.2 million).
Raila got 6.8 million,Assume Mudavadi and Weta go with 0.8million,leaving Raila with 6 million(assuming Kalonzo stays put).Add the 2.2m uhuru GEMA votes to Railas 6 M votes and you get 8.2M votes.
Come over to Ruto,he remains with 6 million votes(after uhurus 2.2M GEMA votes).Add him the 0.8M MDVD and Weta western votes and he maximizes at 6.8M votes.
There is no way Ruto can beat Raila,wachana na MOA,s this is the real one.
