UKAWA Is beaming from ear to ear hoping voters will dump ccm in favour of their hastily assembled troops. However, UKAWA ought to take a deep breath and genuinely take stock of their chances. First of all, all political parties despise internal party democracy. Democracy is only conveniently reiterated to claim a fairly harnessed political terrain in national level politics but not to enhance party democracy.
Where CCM by virtue of being a ruling party can temporarily endure democratic malfeance but the opposition starved of government largesse to bribe their outspoken members are of necessity needing democracy more than democracy needs them!
There are six reasons that indicate all is not well in UKAWA camp because individual party anti democratic whims have been unabatedly permitted to seep through in this campaign mammoth alias of UKAWA.
Those six reasons are as follows:-
1) UKAWA is not in tune with election results history. Since the reinception of multiparty in 1995, total opposition votes by afar lagged against CCM's votes. A united opposition only make sense if the converse is an unequivocal fact, which is unfortunately not in their elusive case.
2) UKAWA hopes the youth now teeming around voter registration booths will trump this election in their favour but the reality ought to be reemphasized:- The youth are toiling in queues just to secure identity cards, with no visible passion to repeat that ordeal during the election calling.
3) UKAWA is more concerned with presidential election but totally unprepared to successfully manage councillorship and parliamentary elections. This is sad because a strong showing in those neglected elections will boost their access to government largesse they urgently need to end CCM ironclad shackles on our political spectrum.
4) UKAWA seems motivated in their unity for access to donor funding. Individual.party comport suggest misuse of public funds remain a potent force to undermine their political goals this election season.
5) UKAWA have always advanced an outdated meme of shortchanging polling agents. What UKAWA fails to grasp is polling agents are their only hope of enforcing a free and a fair election. Failure to justly cater for their own polling agents may tender them as vulnerable stooges to CCM vote rigging machinations.
6) UKAWA should take heed of NAPE NNAUYE's vote rigging warning shot with the seriosity it fully commands. Some in UKAWA thinks Nape's recent comments were at worst reckless and at best a tongue slip. Whatever that mea culpa might have been only succeeded to signify deep worries within CCM of plausible possibilities of losing this election. Those worries should alert UKAWA to be wary of CCM ulterior motives rather than assuming an air of misplaced confidence that victory is but all secured because underestimating CCM will be achieved at their own peril. CCM like KANU of Kenya fully knows once out of snares of power and corruption the party will implode, and they are not going to surrender that leverage without a fight.
Only if UKAWA internal democracy is amply modified and upheld do they stand a chance but if nominees are perceived unpopular expect CCM tsunami to sweep them once again into a vociferous submission!
