I was counting on independents making a statement in central. They disappointed badly.

Like I had earlier confessed, I will be throwing my hat into the ring in 2022. But the prospect of running in Jubilee under WSR is a frightening prospect.

Feels like 1978 all over again.

My good friend Ngunjiri Wambugu was Rao's most staunch supporter in central in 2013. No other person from central has ever penned so many articles critical of Uhuru and Ruto than Wambugu. Today, he is the Mp-elect for Nyeri town on a Jubilee ticket.

We know Uhuru's political influence starts to decline from today. Who is likely to take the mantle ? And please don't tell me Mwangi Kiunjuri.

You people need to go back to work. Drove to the office in the morning and Nairobi is still empty.

I do not think Central is in a rush to replace Uhuru. There are chances there will be no front runner from Central come 2022 though a point-man or two will definitely emerge. I could be wrong but it is also an attractive prospect.

Funny that western with 2 Nasa principals ended up being Nasa's weakest link. Coast, Ukambani, Kisii (in Nyamira Baba shot himself in the foot by going after Matiangi) held up their end of the bargain fairly well.

We Nasarians must now lie low like an envelope for the next 5 years, the people have decided.

Another Summary of the results

Governors (24 for majority)
Jubilee - 24, Jubilee Friendly - 3
NASA - 18
Independents - 2

Senators (24 for majority)
Jubilee - 24, Jubilee Friendly - 3
NASA - 20

National Assembly (169 for majority)
Jubilee - 25+140=165
Jubilee Friendly - 5+23=28
NASA - 16+110=126
Independents - 1+16=17

Notes
Most independents have allegiance to big parties.
Ford Kenya now pretty much limited to parts of Bungoma. ANC most popular in Western.
Wiper influence less from 2013
Jubilee able to re-elect about half of their defectors.

We know why NASA has lost so many seats to Jubilee. Cord principals were out in the cold last 5 years and thus their pockets were virtually empty running into 2017 elections. To generate funds to compensate and run the nominations, they could only rely on nomination fees. Therefore, every party under NASA umbrella could not throw away any aspirants, so as to maximize fees. They ended up competing against themselves (what we call friendly fire... and ended up shooting themselves)

Why does the house need an opposition yet the majority prevailed, I would rather the opposition focuses on developing alternative views and not opposing gava for the sake.

Let Kenyan's reap what they sowed for the next 5 years, less politics is what we now need going forward.
