Hapo juu kwa hii thread i suggested that we go back to the old system where for one vie for a seat, he would have to be a resident of the area and also own property within that area. That way we would eliminate political tourists and opportunists and also elect people who are genuinely interested in the welfare of the area they have been elected as leaders. Right now people living in karen, runda etc want to represent kibera, mathare etc and that does not make sense. One must be a resident of the locality that he wants to represent. Or would you elect a stranger to be the leader of your estate or gated community or village? I think someone should be embarrassed for wanting to represent an area/people where he doesn't reside nor know their issues. Hapa I agree with you. There's no political "representation" in kenya. Discuss I care!

But I do think that mariga will win coz he is popular in his unique way. He is a role model for many football-loving youth in the area. He also has handshake and govt support.
Owalo has nothing to offer except being a former raila man turned enemy. That makes it even worse for him.
Imran can only use his bros name and bank on ODM party support.

Even baba never lived in kibera. He was an opportunist.

I don't know why people are arguing about the legality of mariga's candidature. Truth be told, tangatanga saw a loophole in the law and went for it.
Now to politics 101.
During the rally where kris darlin knelt before baba, imran okoth was heckled and couldn't adress the crowds. But on voting day, he took it hands down. The secret ; network of loyal ground supporters.
Even if wsr pours 1B shillings in Kibra, he has zero chance of creating this critical network for mariga. There is nothing like a luhya vote. You work it bottom-up. Tim wanyonyi is virtually unbeatable in westlands (read kangemi). Once saw him engaging with women running a table banking group in kangemi. Dude knows his game. He has 1,000s of women who would take a bullet for him. Simba arati started as a youth mobilizer in kawangware before becoming a councillor. Now he is MP for lavington/kilimani (read kawangware).
But the nest two months, kibra will rain money like never before.
Imran took it hands down you say? "Yesterday, two senior party officials confirmed that Raila returned the funds on Wednesday to Dagoretti High School Principal Peter Orero, who emerged second, Ben Musungu, John Otieno, Chris Odhiambo and Tony Ogola. Others who were refunded were Stephen Okello, Brian Owino, Reuben Ojijo and Eric Obayi"- The standard This group will obviosly join team hustler ....indirectly....better still hasora can adopt dem orphans I AM trust in GOD, I AM belief in THYSELF

His home in Karen is domiciled in the larger Langata Constituency. And yes, Kibera was in Langata Constituency.
