Raila Odinga has run with Kalonzo Musyoka twice. And lost.
He conjures this up as a bad political omen. And wants out
Raila, like UhuRuto was forced to work with Kalonzo. Never liked him. Doesn’t like him
He prefers Charity Ngilu. And they are politically close.
Raila running mate will be Martha Wangari Karua. The iron lady who once hated him with a passion
Karua because she is politically clean. And is from the Ndia Community, a sub set of the Kikuyu
Karua is supposed to slot it out with Rigathi Gachagua for the Kikuyu and GEMA vote
The former Magistrate, lawyer, FIDA Champion and Moi tormentor will partner Raila in Azimio
Karua was in the situation room at KICC when the famous Tharaka Nithi votes that drowned Raila arrived.
Karua was the hardliner, alongside William Ruto when Kofi Annan stopped a potentially explosive PEV from spreading
Now both are opposite sides again. For the biggest stake in Kenyan politics
So why must Karua be the running mate? GEMA will NOT vote for a ticket that omits their region.
GEMA personifies the tyranny of numbers and will not board a bus full of political minows
Like the Kalenjin nation of Rift Valley, GEMA has developed and personified a sense of entitlement for State.
Since independence, three of the four Presidents are from the community. Viz Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and now Uhuru Kenyatta.
