For Raila to succeed,he has to get a running mate from Eastern part of Kenya (this includes central,NEP,Coast and the like) since Nyanza is in Western part,but all in all,i think the guy has lost in big time and NO people in Eastern part of kenya have confidence in him coz of his frequent change of goal posts.
Also,the Eastern part people (especially central) believe that Raila will revenge against what he keeps on saying traditional injustices against the Luo people.This is what makes him very unpopular and i do not think he has enough time to prove himself beyond that Eastern mentality.
My own observation is if Ocampo case will be thrown out before August 2012,UK and WR will have it big tyme as President and Deputy respectively and they know this because of the masses they are commanding.
@runjam wrote Am one and i voted for RAO in 2007!!! ...I'm not disputing that, what i'm saying is "as a block" if not many of them...I do believe others vote across the board...
@Burning spear....between UK and WR, who would step aside for the other, if UK steps aside will his followers vote for WR?
Qn2. I keep wondering, if these two guys are reconciled by the Hague process, can't the IDPs then go back to their land....why resettle them? and if resettling, who is willing to allow them as neighbours? The Maasai already rejected resettling near Narok, the Taita also rejected resettlement in "their" land....this is a catch 22 situation. Reading today's paper, you will see that the responsibbility to resettle lies within the Fiance, Lands and Special programs docket with Finance as the lead....
