Tell you what? The best idea would be for Kalonzo-MADVD to team up. The next best idea is everyone for himself. That way you get to negotiate during run-off....
Actually, the situation now mirrors 2002. And it's not just about facing the same candidate. Have a look at the KNBS report on consumer prices y-o-y. Or compare to 2012.
Things are bad. What Moi had borrowed cumulatively in his 24 year rule is what Jubilee grabs in a single scandal. But Moi knew how to run an inclusive govt. With Jubilee, the cake hardly reaches about 40 communities.
Take my word. Uhuru got 180K votes in Kisii and Nyamira. This time 30K will be a miracle.
Everything’s different compared to 2002:
.There’s no break-up of ruling party
.The incumbent is running
.Rao said ‘Tosha’ in 2002. He isn’t saying so in 2017
.The winning team from opposition in 2002 wasn’t running together in 1997
.2002 we had first past the post system. 2017 were are under 50+1 rule
.2002 you could run for president and MP same time, 2017 you run for president if you lose you stay in the cold
Etc, etc
In other words there’s a whole world of difference. It beats logic why one would want to employ same tactics for very different circumstances. It’s like buying Nokia 3310 today (very popular in 2002) and expect it to work like a smartphone..
Only chance for NASA is Kalooser and MADVD to break away and team up…
