As much as you think he is visionary, i think he ARROGANTLY underestimated the power of the people.
He got 953 votes in Gatanga; where the hetherto delevopment record "speaks" for itself. If he was so liked in Gatanga the numbers dont show.
This guy had become a law unto himself. His downfall began when he started asking people of gatanga to campaign for the then KNC candidate in the JUJA by-elections. That candidate happened to be a woman and roumer had it that he had some landing rights there.
Besides that and if you are privy to his campaigns, he was compelled by his most trusted and loyal supporters both from Gatanga and Nationally that the timing was not right for him. He didnt listen and arrogantly declared that Presidency was his to take and nobody should tell him what to do.
He miscalculated the political enviroment and the mood of the day and its time for him to KNOW PEOPLE!.
