Going forward with 2017 around the corner by elections are best held in your strongholds the victory margins and the propaganda thats comes with it goes along way in shaping the thinking of the masses . Maybe they want to keep the opposition busy, we love our politics in Kenya so I am sure from now onwards its back to the by-elections - and having your opponent win in big numbers can also be used to show your supporters that the opposition is strong so come out in big numbers and big numbers from strongholds bring in some mathematical conditions that are near impossible to overcome. I beg to differ guys. Clearly, you have not been following Pwani politics of late. Around 2 months ago UK camped in Mombasa statehouse for a record 3 weeks a record held only by his old man Jomo. Just google what transpired then in terms of alliances and you will know what i am talking about. DP Ruto and his URP wing also enjoy considerable empathy from coastals....which reminds me about one Mheshimiwa Mung'aro....don't underestimate that man H.E. Joho, and Mheshimiwa Abdulswamad have been spotted donning red ties once in a while instead of orange ones. Kingi like Mutua is busy working for his people but has maintained cordial working relationships with the ruling coalition...in short Malindi will just confirm that Coastal Kenya has joined the government as a stakeholder/share holder... Interesting angle, but I am sure the opposition will then camp in that area, full force with all the principals.But its a game of numbers, and what both sides are trying to do is to look good, not to get votes from their opponents but just to ease the emotions such that turn out in the opponents areas reduces. It is hard to brand someone evil, out to finish you if the same guys came and gave you title deeds, put money in your companies, appointed your people into government - you might not vote for them, but then you might not find the need to vote. The same goes on the other side, someone who is begging to go save your son in court, and continually pleads that he did not fix them, might not be easily branded an enemy - though hi mambo ya fighting former devolution cs is strange, seem just like shooting oneself in the foot. CORD will ensure thats its a joho vs mungaro battle rather than ODM vs jubilee could be another kajiado north for jubilee Joho = Mombasa, Mung'aro= Kilifi no co-relation there. All of them have joined the coalition so CORD must look for other people Dumb money becomes dumb only when it listens to smart money
