Central province will vote for the Kyuk name on the presidential ballot. Crowds at rallies can be very misleading as Daniel arap Moi can tell you from what happened during by-election campaigns in Kipipiri some years past. Command of the Gema constituency is a devious beast. There are no permanent idols.
I for one would very much like for the UK/WR/MM axis to try and prove this theory wrong. Come on UK, yield to MM. Or Ruto.
Let's get the history right. The Agikuyu voted for their own because their own were very strong candidates. Matiba and Kibaki were not minor candidates in the elections they stood for.
To the Anti-K Brigade here, who do you think these guys should have voted for in 1992, 1997, and 2007? Why do you think they should've left their candidates for whoever you think is better?
Let's keep it simple.
For @mcreggae and @nostop, do you think Nyanza would have backed Emilio if RAO did not back Baks in 02 but instead Baks was backed by a politician of less popularity like Nyong'o or Orengo?
Jibu liko hapo!!
UK is the man who can lead his constituency in proving you wrong, whether he will do it or not, I don't know!
