Who in non-gema mind will support Raila who absconded election last time
. And to top it up has failed so many times. NASA is dead. Jubilee could die..but NASA is dead. When you say Non-GEMA - what tribes do you imagine will back Raila? Luhyas? Kambas? or who? Mijikendas or Maasai. You see BBI is everything to everyone. It an easy sale...except come june when impossible has to be done..there will be mass disappointment.
Whoever has a edge btw Ruto and Raila going into 2022...will win both GEMA and Non-GEMA. It obvious so far Ruto has the edge. Opinion polls have him nearly 3 times Raila.
Raila game starts and ends with Uhuru. I am not sure whether to cry or laugh.
The real Raila supporters are demoralized. They know what is coming. They know Raila is yet again making big mistake and this time round - even the Luos are so tired. You can start from this forum. Completely demoralized.
All Ruto competitors are banding together because he is clearly the man to beat..but who will bell the gate? Raila? Kalonzo? MaDVD? or even Gideon.
Well Uhuru?
I see we still diverge over BBI 2. Live presentations are ongoing. Wa Njambi is delusional as you and buys they are playing Raila faux pas.
Ruto has BIG hurdles - Kichwa calls them moving parts. BBI first resets the deck. Uhuru refuses to hand over Jubilee papers. Ruto buys Kiunjuri briefcase or forms new party - but finds Uhuru has new PM currency. So most Gema won't ship from JP so fast. Raila has cornered most non-Gema so Ruto wind up with Kalenjin and a few Gema and topups. He can't even get rickety URP back.
It easy to cause trouble - or play kingmaker - but attaining victory is hard. See how equally Raila couldn't win but can sabotage Ruto almost effortlessly. For the two non-Gema archrivals insular Gema is the safer bet and will continue to sneak through. Raila on the clock is ready to beat it as ceremonial president. His BBI ushers in parliamentary and he retires as the greatest reformer. Locking out Ruto is a bonus.
Back to Uhuru to do what? Uhuru is going home. Unless he amend the katiba and remove the term limits. Politician follows the GROUND. Not the other way round. Supporting Uhuru right now is surest way to lose popularity in central. As long as Uhuru is with Raila - Mt Kenya are not touching him - even with 10 foot pole.
I been telling you you're dreaming but you don't get it. GEMA will shock you as they stampede back to Uhuru corner. Form a new party.... and the first problem is when only loudmouth Nyoro, Ichung'wa, Alice join - while all the "neutral" Mt Kenya MPs who are the majority dither. Non-Gema flatly refuse to join including Jumwa. Raila 2007 had regional big kahuna but Kalonzo - Ruto, Mdvd, Balala. Ruto has strategic disadvantage. Even Duale wants parliamentary and won't join.
