This could be very interesting....
pros..
1. muslim votes..(20% of population)
2. Consolidated coast votes(balala and mwakwere kwisha!!!)
3. Improved picture in the north eastern province (duale kwisha!!!)
4. Sober civil society groups votes in....
5. Reformist agenda.... (could easily bring Karua, abidikadir and others on board)
cons...
1. western votes reduce (they think they have been shortchanged)
2. Hassan Omar doesnt have the ambition(wants to be a senator or governor)
3. The old protectors of status quo find another reason to consolidate!! (read uk and wsr)
If you dont want to use plan B, have a good plan A.
