I do not think I can tell the difference between a Rendille, Burji, Somali or Borana (They are all Walalos to me) lakini amongst themselves they not only are able to tell the difference but they hate each other and have alliances that will determine who gets leadership in Marsabit.
In Uasin Ngishu there is fununu that Buzeki is Gideon's project. He is also from the minority Keiyo community while most of Uasin Ngishu is Nandi.
In Busia there is Teso's vs Luhyas...
Jameni, what did we do to ourselves!??
I personally don't think it's a bad thing!! identity is everything and you must cross that chasm. in Busia is Teso vs Banyala (no such thing as Luhyas). I am sure the ethnic dynamics are all over the place. Elections are about shared resources and Identity politics tend to play a part.
