C & P, any body from Western to confirm this?......or guka for that matter?
Q: Why can't RAO wake up and name a running mate from among the Bukusu once and for all, if he must have a running mate form the Luhya block?
1. BUSIA COUNTY; the sub-tribes that matter there - Samia, Banyala, Marachi and Khayo - are all 'Luonised' people in fact, it is very hard to differentiate their culture (not tradition) & girls, from one another until..... infact, Marachis were Luo 'outcasts' so they say. They'll vote.
2. KAKAMEGA COUNTY; Wanga and Marama are the direct progenitors of the Sakwa people of Bondo. The Kisa and Batsotso are but one with the Marama. Count the votes.
... Idakho and Isukha matter most, they tend to vote in their MPs according to their clans, but give presidential votes as the Marama, Kisa and Wanga.
3. VIHIGA COUNTY; Only the Banyore will vote to a man for anybody other than a Maragoli. the late Sabstone really terrorised them and they've never forgotten. Amongst the Maras, if MM ditches ODM for another party, let him remember Akaranga.
4. BUNGOMA COUNTY, the Bukusus over the years never vote for anybody else other than their own and they are many and they control the Tachoni, Banyala (ba Ndombi), and Sabaots.
Wafula wa Musamia prophesied that leadership shall only come to them via the lake. RAO should show them now is the time for the prophesy to be fulfilled.
