If Jubilee wins by ensuring Kethi is not running, the status quo is maintained, but I dont think they would really claim to have won. The actual winning would have been if CORD's strong candidate(Kethi) runs and she is defeated at the ballot. So either way, I really dont understand why the stakes are so so high on this particular issue.
Read somewhere that if Wiper loses one elected Senator, they lose one slot of a nominated senator. They also cant afford to lose an election of any kind in their backyard. They just cant!
Jubilee on the other hand has the numbers and really dont need the seat to push their agenda in the Senate. It just a show of might and showing who da boss! (SKM vs CKN)
