only in odm zones are elections that violent..it something Raila started in 90s.Jaramogi eschewed violence and Raila thought his father was a coward hence 82 coup and his attempts to bulldoze his way to leadership.Elsewhere elections are peaceful.So far ODM have killed two people in kibra.Before Raila even a white man like Philip Leakey won Langata/kibra.The moment Raila landed out of jail he started feeding luo gangs on bhangs and deaths have occurred in every kibra elections...just like it does in Nyanza...leading to rise of thugs as MPs meanwhile in say Kalenjin the average senator or governor is not even 35yrs.Most MPs and MCAs are 20-30yrs old because there is true democracy.You want Mariga to toughen for Raila slum dogs that is crazy and shows your true horrible self.Intimidation through gang and youth violence is signature Raila retrogressive politics and it has not found any traction in kenya.Kibra people need to say enough of that kind of politics by utlizing their secret ballot
More humbug. Jomo and his Kanu thugs started violence on poor Luos - KPU - as early as 1966 when Jaramogi decamped from Kanu. There was a mass of by-elections. No single violence was reported entire Nyanza - despite Mboya and Kanu provocation and abuse of GoK apparatus - like VoK and police to block KPU rallies. Jomo invented political violence just as he invented elite corruption. Moi fuatad Nyayo by doubling down on violence, detentions, torture, name it - and formalizing sleaze as "harambee". Moi would butcher Kikuyus in Molo and Timboroa every election - 1992 and 1997. Ruto - with PEV under his belt and the manifesto of quivers - has perfected violence and sleaze as political tools. The Luo got nothing on the Kalenjin and the Kikuyu when it comes to violence and graft.
The youngest MP is from Meru. ODM is the most progressive in terms of women and youth. Complete with women and youth leagues. And senior women leaders in the NEC.
