What I mean is if the losing candidate (in the runoff) garners over 50% of the vote in each of 30 counties but gets less than 50% of the total national vote, they can advance the same 'won-in-6-out-of-8-provinces' propaganda that was put out in 2007/8. But hopefully we will have a credible Supreme Court that can separate fact from fiction.

I know the law is clear. All I am pointing out is that knowing Kenya's politicians, they will chalk up such propaganda in 2012 if they lose in the runoff under such circumstances.

.....I tend to be of the same opinion!!!!

@Kusadikika,thank you for putting the thoughts i was having over the weekend into words.


It is time Kenyans moved from politics centered on personalities,scandals and king making.So now the country i holding its breathe to see who we will be given as Presidential material.We need to wake up and decide what future we want as Kenyans.For far too long we have played into the hands of a political and economical elite to the detriment of the kawaida Kenyan selling his sukumas at Wakulima market.

Am sure most people on Wazua have known only two presidents in their lifetime,MOI and Baks.We have had politics played the same way since 4 decades ago and Kenya which showed so much promise in 1963 is a pale shadow of the dreams and visions our grandfathers fought so hard for.

At the moment we are watching the usual suspects who have declared their interest in the job,the same guys who have been in the system and nothing has changed since they were there.They are shadow boxing and mud slinging instead of telling us where they are going to take this country by 2030.

In checks in Abdulkadir Mohamed who so far is squeaky "clean" but whom people don't even dare give a chance yet he has shown what a terrific job he can do.Where do we go from here?

We are putting forth the same arguments against him that white Americans(most)had against Obama.Would it not be great to have someone who will give us a fresh start for us and for our children?

Snazzy,
Obama realized his potential and started early, the elections should be in 18 months, Abdi has not shown an iota of interest, PK seems to have chickened out, how then do you expect any of them to be elected the president when the time comes!!!

A leader realizes his potential and stands up to be counted, otherwise all this talk just remain wishes!!!!!

@ ecstacy,Not really re 2% voting for a woman.Latest polls ( not a big fan of polls though) shows that 60% of Kenyan would vote for a woman. .........and well...why not,Hon. Martha has the brains and will power to go against the grain- and if the recent events are anything to go by,we need people who are willing to go against the grain.
