Raila Presidency 2017 -A good idea, a bad team mindset!
By Ndolo Asasa Owuon KwaOsango
Before the political high priests take to the podium let me share my take, I might just be listened to -who knows?
1. Let me start by declaring that I have always supported (literally) in my own unique modest ways Raila’s presidential campaigns and
2. Declare that Raila has been in the past and probably will again be the best presidential candidate in 2017. But like the past Raila may just not make it to the Presidency again! despite his superlative candidacy. This is mainly due to;
A).Bubble bravados not backed with strategic nurturing and reaching out to partners and individuals to secure and safeguard votes to the extend of making rigging by any opponent unrealistic and counterproductive. The Raila team so far heavily relies on ‘natural’ supporters and hardly go after such strategic supporters in the same vigour as they go for voters. While I am a believer of self pride, ”okwasech” kind of bravados or is it nyadhi, do not aid political pursuasion especially where you have been systematically decampaigned to firefighting as you nyadhied and moled with swag! Another declaration, I am no strategic person just a Voter, one vote holder.
B).A visibly Luo-heavy presidential campaign advisors, campaign secretariat and campain contacts even in tradionally non/little Luo presence areas (Luos can and indeed should heavily be involved but not for display if you ask me). Raila’s Presidency should be shareheld by as many communities as possible.
Finally, Raila must divorce his Presidential campaign from MPs, Senators and Governors’ campaigns. These fellas should add value to Raila’s campaigns and not Raila pushing them on wheelbarrows! Raila and presidential campaign team must focus the energies entirely on marketing Raila as President and his party’s/ coaltion’s presidential manifesto.
I wish I could close by just praying for Raila, but elections are not won that way. Maybe I should just dream of a Raila Presidency!

Kenya may need change but is it Baba, Kalonzo,Weta that will deliver the robust change needed for Kenya? Maybe for tribal or ethnic porposes but even then, this are not the guys we’ve been waiting for. They have nothing to show for their many years in the corridors of power

Forget Raila Presidency. The honorable Man has made several stabs unsuccesfully. Whatever the reason. He cant WIN! 2017 . I repeat He cant win 2017. Mnaota mchana na usiku. Elections in kenya are never won on the ballot. They are decided by those who hold and control the instruments of power. You and me will shout each other down, kill each other to the ground. Get one chance to vote either peacefully or violently. Then go back home to be glued to the digitally migrated TV set, to allow the media and ‘other players’ to give you the numbers, balance your emotions, resonate your stress levels and anxiety.Then have a chance to Watch how your favorite candidate is winning. Go to sleep with the complexity of results and once again to wake up to a different result. Its election. Its 2017. You have been waiting for it for such a long time. You actually had postponed victory from the last election. Please note, elections come with frenzy, political lies and manifestos, ethnic realignments and bigotry.Its a very huge campaign season dotted with all sorts of colours. You can never stop that! You can never change that! There is no room for reasoning during election. If you think also that I have said nothing on this space. Its ok. I cant blame you or wrestle you to the ground. You stand with what you believe in, only time alone will vindicate our positions.
