its finally dawning to politicians in central kenya that a run off between uhuru and raila is inevitable .

in such a scenario raila would decimate uhuru.

close aides are said to be advising him not to run

his close allies have already began accompanying mm to political rallies

me thinks he will monitor the opinion polls if the same margins continue he will back off but will not endorse MM.

IMO UK would beat RAO In the event of a run-off , even opinion polls have suggested so with some saying they'd be a tie. The main problem for UK is that even if he wins there will be a lot of pressure from the international community because of his involvement in the ICC cases. MM as a compromise candidate would be hard to beat especially with the backing of UK, WR, PK, Balala and co.

I also think there are Kenyans (like me) who cannot vote for anyone who was linked directly or indirectly to the 2007 PEV which gives MM a massive advantage.

UK should listen and back MM. I know there is nothing wrong legally for another Kikuyu to be president immediately after Kibaki but socially, it will be problems. He will live for fight another day.
As for run-off it could go either way, with UK having a higher chance (44% tie with ICC on his back and no organized party yet) but against MM, RAO will be headed straight to retirement faster than he can recite a kitendawili.

The rumuors will start appearing in the dailies and before you know it he is out this must be an exit strategy by team uhuru deep down he knows kenyans cannot elect another president from central province.

it seems the purpose of the party is to have a united voice from central kenya in the next government

but again will he run for mp,governor etc, how will handle the G7 .

tough decisions for uhuru

these are rumors and should be treated as such.I think Uhuru would beat Rao in a runoff because those who dislike rao will not be thinking of tribe at that point, and i can guarantee you they are a huge percentage

And who are those supporting him in opinion polls, Ugandans?
All these is just propaganda and opinion which may not be factual in order to destabilize his support.

Lets not sanitize MM's involvement in the PEV, MM was squarely in the middle of it (pentagon) during the 41 vs 1 propaganda machine.

Hahahaha... I beg to differ....
If Raila's pentagon with 41 against 1 campaign drive could not out rightly beat Kibaki.... then you cannot say the in a runoff Raila will beat Uhuru.

There is a high possibility Uhuru will beat Raila...if Ruto will still be on ICC trial. In fact the propaganda will be about how Raila has already ruled or misruled too... that Kibaki regime was not a Kikuyu regime but Luo-Kikuyu one.

You can take that to the bank....lol
