OPINION :What is Next For Leaders Who Lost UDA Primaries in Uasin Gishu-
By Human Rights Activist Kimutai Kirui
WEIGHT OF A PROTEST VOTE.
What next for leaders who lost or won UDA primaries and Hon Buzeki as a Political Titan?
AMBASSADOR BITTOCK.
He’s an elite scholar.
Can work for any multi national agency, government,go back to university or start a consultancy firm.
KIPCHUMBA KAROLI.
This is the first time amongst titans.
Karoli should lobby to be speaker or any position.
Running against a sitting governor, is a big plus
Karoli shouldn’t fool himself because he talks to Dr Ruto or Murkomen directly he can’t be localised.
CS Keter is closer to Dr Ruto but “will of the people is honored”
Dr Ruto will never ever tamper with voter’s decisions back home.
Karoli’s future is bright if the lose is managed well and two, if he’ll stop to lurk behind banana shadows, Sudi and Murkomen.
SARAH SEREM
She’s the surprising late entrant with an impact.
Had she run for a Women Rep position,Shollei may be would be home.
She has a future…made no foes but left an indelible mark
OSCAR SUDI – MKARABATI
Oscar Sudi bites more than he can chew.
Voters protested against Sudi’s preferences.
Oscar lost everything.
2027 may see Sudi run in Nandi Central.
The kitchen is full of smoke and heat for Sudi.
H.E BUZEKI TAI OLE TAI.
He’s walking a tight rope.
He must rebrand himself.
Party is inconsequential,can’t effect him.
Talking negative of Dr Ruto is irelevant,won’t tilt votes.
Buzeki must bridge the Nandi -Keiyo axis.
He must rebrand approach and style of politicking, preach unity amongst the two Subtribes.
Without the Nandi one is done.
Caleb and Veska.
Kositany political career as a dynasty came to an end.
Veska must go back to the drawing board.
H.E MANDAGO.
Going forward Mandago is the man
Governor will squeeze Sudi – senator will freeze him.
Mandago will reengineer the political template in UG.
PROTEST VOTE as a candidate.
Protest vote is a killer no president,party nor system ever managed to deal with.
Any smart leader must ” Avoid protest vote”
The protest vote was used against Mandago’s senatorial bid but he escaped
Samuel Chepkonga was a casualty.
Murkomen and Dualle gave him Jubilee certificate but voters vehemently protested not against Chepkonga but the party’s decision
Uhuru is a casualty of protest vote.
They’re protesting against mistreatment of Dr Ruto and Raila in the mix.
People of Eldoret North protested against president Moi.
Nandi protested against hosting a Tugen on their shoulders- president Moi and another Tugen Chesire, Mp in their arms.
Dr Ruto is a product of a protest vote.
Protest vote is a virus.
