What if Matiangi is Jubilee & ODM joint candidate?

As of now,We have:

1) Kalonzo/Gachagua

2) Ruto.

3) Last Friday,Both Jubilee held their joint delegates conference.Its not a coincidence.In this game,I ask myself.

If Uhuru and Raila endorse Matiangi,He locks Kisii,Nyanza and western.Infact,If Natembeya endorses him,He gravitates above 50% in Western.

He also gets a substantial vote from Mt.Kenya as a compromise candidate.

In this arrangement,Coastal vote becomes a competition between Kalonzo and Matiangi.

Does that make Ruto number 3 in the presidential election?

I think Ruto is technically out.

I agree there are 2 likely scenarios.

1. Present 2-horse race of Ruto-Raila vs joint opposition. Here I see Ruto-Wanga vs Kalonzo-Natembeya
2. Your possible 3-horse race of Ruto vs Raila-Uhuru vs joint opposition. Here I see Ruto-Joho vs Raila-Matiang'i vs Kalonzo-Natembeya

Reading Raila and ODM moves - vacating Malava, Banissa, etc for UDA - tells us scenario 1 is more likely. If Raila is running or has a deal with Uhuru/Matiang'i how can he surrender his bases to Ruto?

If your scenario were to occur, how sellable is Matiang'i really? Shoud Raila not already be selling him in Luo and not Ruto? When is Uhuru introducing him to Gatundu? Would he run with Muhoho or Wanga? Who would they sell first - Matiang'i or Muhoho?

Matiang'i needs to win MCA in Nyamira first... BEAT ODM/UDA in Gusii - before grandiose dreams of PORK.

Uhuru - has money and unlikely to be bought by Ruto - so is in his drunken devices and jilted by Riggy takeover in Mlima. You give him free currency. How is Jubilee polling in Mbeere, Malava, Banissa, or anywhere?

Matiangi - is underwhelming and is squandering the super-CS image. He should reject Uhuru - or demand he completely handover Jubilee and only fund it. He has a free sit at the joint opposition table - a no-brainer because Gusii ODM-UDA is full house. I don't know how long the free ticket will last especially if ODM-UDA take all MCA slots in the byelections.

The amount of cope in this thread
Opposition have big job of uniting.

Ruto just need one guy - Kalonzo or Raila- if Kindiki cannot deliver Mt kenya East.

If Kindiki delivers - Ruto wins regardless of what opposition does.

What cope. Ruto heads to a rout in Mbeere and Malava.
Gusii is a key battlefront now... if the opposition lose it to Ruto they are finished.

The import of Uhuru is CONFUSION - as he craves relevance - which serves Ruto and against Team Riggy.

Matiangi at best is Mr. 5%. He is not going anywhere. I agree he should win a MCA seat before thinking about PORK. Gachagua is king in Gema territory. Kenya family criminal enterprise cannot believe mrima is gone. No one is going to listen to a retired president. Uhuru is on the dark side. Things he did not accomplish as president he cannot accomplish them as a retiree.

Uhuru thinks he can harvest GenZ into something - without a tribal base. Basically a redux of Karua will bring women vote. Very dim.
Riggy noise is about Matiang'i taking focus away from Gusii to follow Uhuru voodoo.

That Gusii 5% is bigger than the part in G7.

Good to see Gema senior citizen like Maina kamanda and others asking Uhuru to respect himself and respect Gema community. That dog cannot hunt! Uhuru has killed Matiangi presidential ambitions. It's over, finito, kaput! Same as Kioni, Wambungu Ngunjiri and Gathoni wa Muchomba. In centro next elections it will be a political massacre for career politicians. How is  Kimani Ichungwa  faring?

Uhuru after delivering meagre 12% for Raila -  as incumbent PORK - has zero chance of splitting anything. They even used violence and goons to disrupt RiggyG meetings, loot Kikuyu shops in Nairobi, etc and moved on. Riggy is ahead of their wheelerdealers Kiunjuri, Ndindi, Kuria, etc who have been labeled wheelbarrows. Jubilee is now the red wheelbarrow.

Mlima is gone-gone. UDA is about to be buried in Mbeere. Don't be fooled by optics.

Those Sabina Cheges defending Uhuru on TV - did not even attend the Jubilee NDC meant to install Matiang'i - they were sponsored by Ruto to rebel against Uhuru but were beaten in court. The first NDC happened last week after 2-3 years of internal court battles since 2022. Ruto rebels have lost to Uhuru.

Yaani Fatso took 3 years to handle nominated MPs Sabina and Kanini Kega... how can he take on DCP? Is the moron even running in Banissa - are most Jubilee MPs not from NEP?

RiggyG needs Matiang'i for GUSII - hakuna Jubilee Mlima.

Kimani Icchungwah will be reelected even in ODM ticket in Kikuyu. He is hate proof. Always getting elected unopposed since day one in politics. Even AI is predicting he will win massively in 2027!
