OAR name would not be on that ballot the noise that would be generated i doubt he would withstand the pressure

Poor mr. Freedom. He reminds me of a story in chinua achebe's anthills of the savannah. A tortoise which was about to be killed by a leopard pleaded with the leopard for a chance to do one final dance. The leopard granted the tortoise the favour. But then the tortoise started dancing in a bizzare way scratching the grounds and throwing soil all over.

"Why are you doing that?" The leopard asked puzzled. The tortoise answered, "i want those who come to this place after you have killed me to think that you only managed to kill me after a fierce struggle"

and so it is with bwana freedom and his eld north buddy. They know their goose is cooked. They know they can't pass the supreme court. Mr freedom finds himself in the same unenviable situation as an old male lion finds itself when a younger male takes over the pride. He has seen and heard the young man from gatanga, and knows the community will drop him like a hot metal when the supreme court rules he can't run.

But like the tortoise, he wants those who will read his history to think he only went down after a fierce fight.

“They are either in TNA or
nowhere and must be given
total blackout by voters.

Nkt. This is so embarassing! There goes your president, again.

UK was right.In the mountain you are either with him or perish into political dustbin where PK,Karua and others who have refused to toe the TNA line will find themselves after the elections.Same to the Lakeside where you are either with Pamba or perish and in parts of Rift valley you are either with wsr or you perish.i wouldnt contest on odm ticket in central neither would i contest on tna ticket in the lakeside:that would be political suicide.
