With Linturi about to be a governor or at least having a chance; I dont think they will listen; Maybe the Tiganias will be swayed. Besides two months is short time to re-stablish Miraa export business - leave alone make it thrive. Once again these are desperate moves by Uhuru and is folks as d-day approaches. You can expect more desperate moves but politics is about trust - when people dont trust you - you can give them everything like Moi did in Kipipiri - and still lose.
If there are a people who have been abused and psychologically tortured is Igembe merus. They know as everyone else that this was all along a play by gatheca and his side kick munya. People qre soo desparete there so Azimio might just work
Whats helping Linturi is ground work that Ruto has done over the years especially the church going this are staunch UDA supporters,the battle is still hard,like I said Kawira has a slight lead over the others, Linturi can also close on it depending on how upcoming activities unfold.
As for Tigania they have nothing to lose they have Munya who has had governor and minister so generally they vote at their comfort Miraa is not a much defining thing to them.
Whats important is actually what was missed in the whole issue,that is Miraa will be exported through Isiolo airport which lies in Tigania and Isiolo. If gatheca can pull that airport to be active and put enough Tigania there then again Azimio gains
