I once heard a story that one either JJ or his opponent paid hooligans to go and defaecate in the opponents compound and come morning there was no single space to step in the compound as it was full of S**t. Don't know whether true or false though.
Once when my main man was a week away from getting re-elected (mlolongo time), his opponent pulled TO on him. Our guy was the overwhelmingly favourite mainly because the main opponent was from another Constituency but had a dairy farm in our constituency. About 2 days to the election, he organised two meetings in the only 2 vote rich areas. During the meeting, a convoy of lorries-it was the main transport mode then- snaked it's way into the stadium...with campaigners singing agitatedly... and calling on our opponents... They had ' come back home'..'please don't dessert us' 'Bwana Maendeleo' banners.... Our opponent halted the meeting and went to 'listen' to the intruders. When he came back to the megaphone he was like ' Sasa, kwa sababu mumenikataa, hawa watu ni wale nimekuwa nikiwakilisha huko ( his former constituency). Na wamesema kwa sababu ya ile maendeleo niliwanyia huko, eti, niende nisimame huko. Mnataka niende?'
Two days to the election, our supporters began warming up to him as the rumour of how he was wanted back by his former constituents on account of his unrivaled development spread like bushfire. Needless to say, he won the mlolongo election. It was latter that we discovered that the hooligans on the convoy were actually not his former constituents but hirelings who had been well paid to act up..
