1.Langata – Raila Odinga – ODM
2.Kasarani – Elizabeth Ongoro – ODM
3.Starehe – Margret Wanjiru – ODM
4.Westlands – Fred Gumo – ODM
5.Embakassi – Mugabi Were – ODM (yt2 after death)
6.Makadara – Gideon Mbuvi – Narc (Ngilu basically ODM)
7.Kamkunji – Simon Mbugua – PNU (controversial)
8.Dagoretti – Beth Mugo – PNU (Kiare ODM did well some say he won)
This is the reality of Nairobi, in this Nairobi, a broke, impractical, ridiculous, yt2 is a non-starter from what I see and believe, particularly when tribe card is played, Mbaru stands a chance with his resources, respectability and capabilities, but realistically it would have been better for more informed Jubilee people to “court” other communities, especially when it was yt2 (who seeing the above stands no chance) vs Kidero, but some of us just shut down their brains when it comes to tribe and start telling people how “good” a recorded violent criminal is. We should have courted westerners for western vote in presidency when we need it later rather than cluster around a clown, some even insulting Kidero on facebook and writing their names their for all to see the mentality and the fact was Yt2 would have and will loose anyway (particularly after sharing tribe with Jimnah). Now it is another race!
@Much.. I feel you.. i've also repeated that as much here.. but it seems our hubris wil be our undoing.. see the 24year mess that the Kihikas created in 78? We need to learn to adapt.. Uhuru may still win this one... though i foresee either a stunner from the ywazees.... or from North Rift.. to me the remarks by one bw. Tokyo land is reminding somepeople something.. rem they are choosing btn two evils.. whom do they preferd?
