Why i would not for Karua is simple, politics is about numbers. She doesn't have them as of now. She's not the most ideal candidate for me. My ideal candidate is Peter Kenneth,but him too, no numbers yet. So voting for any of the two is like voting for Uhuru and i don't believe in him. Which makes me go for the second best alternative.
Pardon me for turning this thread into a discussion on MK and RAO but i just want to understand your point of view. In 2002 almost all Kenyans voted for Mk what i want to know is what has RAO done since 2007 that has made you think otherwise of him. Don't you think the part highlighted in red contradicts with what you stated in you previous post. If your ideal candidate is PK then why don't just vote for him instead of going for the next worst person after UK.
UK is not my preferred candidate, as someone has pointed out i also don't think either him of RAO deserve to be President but kama its between those two then he'll have my vote. If it was about issues then i would not be talking about these two because they both belong in the crop of politicians we need to get rid of if we are to achieve anything as a country. I believe the reason why most RAO supporters want the race to be between him and UK is
because they feel Kenyans will always have issues with the Kenyatta family (historical injustices), the ICC and the fact that he is a kikuyu. In my opinion if we elect UK, no matter what he does or does not do, hizi kelele will go on for the next 5 years...same goes for RAO.
One of the reason why i have never been a supporter of RAO is because he has been in govt since siku za Moi (in very powerful positions) but always maintains that he can only bring change as President. We seem to forget that since 2002 we have not had any official opposition to check on the government.....they've all been part of the govt sasa they are telling us ati its time for change and reforms, please!
@TAZ, You are beginning to sound irrational. You want to vote for "NOT your preferred candidate" and you don't me to do the same?
By not voting for Uhuru makes me a Kikuyu hater? Was Kibaki not a Gikuyu? Did you even read thru' my post?
What has changed since 2007 for me to vote for RAO? Kibaki is not on the ballot and i was not happy with how he handled the infamous 2007 elections. I wouldn't vote for him even if he were to be on the ballot.
Everybody who doesn't agree with you and doesn't vote for Uhuru, their opinion ni kelele to you?
Talk of arrogance.
Do you know my tribe to say i'm one of those who are not voting for him just coz he's a gikuyu? What is Kibaki? Koi koi?
Are you telling Kenyans to forget everything Kenyatta did, turn a blind eye on ICC and just vote for your scion?
Would you mind telling me how ICC will play out? Do you know the out come for certain?
Why ensnare the whole country for a single soul who's never lost sleep for any of the ordinary kenyans?
You said "if it were about issues" you would not even talk about RAO nor Uhuru,care telling me what it is about? Height? Wife? Pet?
I said not unless you tell me how he,Uhuru is sensibly going to attempt to solve any historical injustices,deal with ICC just to mention a few, i said you will let me be.
Is that too much to ask for?
