Consider governor post for Nairobi.Between Kidero,Wanjiru in Cord realpolitik aka gullibility will go for Wanjiru.In jubilee,again gullibility will court Waitutu and not Mbaru.Elites would go for Kidero or Mbaru.But who will decide the nomination?Come 17th if Wanjiru survives the papers scrutiny will be the cord nominee and Waititu will bag the Jubilee nominee.Come voting the gullible will be the Majority but still the elite's choice will be between the two!
Jubilee and Cord for them realpolitik demands that this is a seat that must be won.Now field anyone else other than Waititu and Cord takes it.Now field Mbaru and Kidero,CORD is likely to it!Field Wanjiru vs Mbaru and CORD takes it!Waititu vs Kidero Jubilee takes it!The key determiner of this 'odd' scenarios is the gullible voter and who are the majority and who will turn out for nominations and voting and who Waititus,Sonkos,Wanjirus of these political contests are their darlings!The lest are just too 'posh' for realpolitik as they lack 'thuggery' tactics!
Thus my argument to have only relatively educated voters so that when they choose on our(the 'elites' who have no time to waste) behalf, they will choose relatively better "monkeys"!What is your take?
The 'relatively educated' voters are you and I. Every Kenyan has a right to vote and thus your argument won't work.
The 'elites' should look for time to 'go waste in nominations' or else they should forever hold their peace!
