Alma doesnt seem to understand why Mutua won. After the Wavinya wave swept ukambani, her goons were over confident and went on destroying Mutua's water/Solar projects and when the local mwanainchi saw this, they remembered the old days of suffering and turned against her.

PS she won in only 2 constituencies (Kathiani and Mavoko which was once part of Kathiani)

Lesson: Demography The youngest voter was born in 1999. These kids know nothing about street protests and the kind of stuff that excited Alma and Orengo in the 90s. They are connecting more with Uhuru than Raila


You see, murchr, I'm learning. This is the first Kenyan election I've ever been in Kenya 24 hours. So I have no problem learning. It's called the need to know the market. Does't mean you stop selling chocolate, just means you cover the chocolate in a better looking package.

I'm learning.

Uhuru as I told you before is now gone. I expected one of these fellas to go. For good. One is gone for good, the other has 2 years to make his legacy.

So I'm also learning why Mandago won. Why Joho won. Why Sonko won. Why Ole Lenku won. Trust me, I learn fast. Especially from the loses.

The template is Moha Jicho Pevu.

Mambo ya Sipite na Mutua are actually irrelevant. You look for the outliers who have shocked. Then replicate those ones.


Joho Sonko Lenku Mandago are not outliers. They all had the ticket that would propel them. The outlier was Mutua, you forget on Tuesday (polling day) you told us that he's gone? The woman had the ticket, family name (ndeti) and a grand child of Muindi mbingu but she messed up when she went the destruction mode. Wanjiku ameerevuka


Who was Ndeti?Was he "great" like the Koinanges ?
And didn't know she is grand daughter to Muindi Mbingu...kwanza I thought Mbingu wad actually a mhindi.

Supposing for example I want to beat Ichungwa and Oparanya. Forget about Mutua coz he's a media fiend.

Ichungwa and Oparanya are fantastic examples of people you can't beat. So they have all those vehicles. So did Kabogo. So how do I beat them?


Murchr, I have no problem with my attitude since I shall never be a candidate. But next time with Ruto running, my fren, niko. So essyk asked a question I'd like to know without having to sift through the last five years of wazua posts and the next 2.

Trust me, Murchr, I'm not a Nasa or Jubilee blogger. I want to know. Coz I know for sure. I ain't voting for Ruto even if he has Jesus holding his hand. For that I'll do the work pro-bono. Call it personal.

By the way Murchr, Kakamega may be a mess according to your standards. But before Oparanya came had you ever seen the place?


-Pick the voters register- keep doing this as updated,
-Look at the date of birth of voters, last names, mixed names etc
-Identify pain points (includes fears) for each demographic e.g. jobs- pain point bright future; old age- pain point basic financial security; and their interest as played out/influenced by the international national, regional, local (political). Also identify people who influence them.
-Identify communication channels to reach them- social media, mainstream media, churches, mosque
-get people who control these communication channels and with influence across the channels to a point they give you priority ..even arm-twist.
-Create a personal brand that will identify with targeted demographic(s).
-craft the message into the personal brand.
-Get one main opponent- the strongest
-Create a hate-able personal brand for your opponent- this will be the basis of your counter strategy if attacked in the field or there is a shift.

- create a strategic team that guides you on what to do- not you tell what to do. the more professional and multi-talented the better.
-let strategic team hire professionals to do work.
-sell personal brand-sell message- let there be no difference.
-repeat, counter-strategy, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, counter-strategy........................
-rinse- repeat point above!
The hot stock is the one that everyone thinks that everyone else thinks....is the hot stock (Dixit & Nalebuff, 2008).
