Musalia Mudavadi most likely Kenya's next President?

[Nairoberry]

with this new pact with uhuru and ruto who command the largest voting blocks in kenya it will be hard to stop mudavadi sailing to the top. unfortunately raila and kalonzo numbers are inferior bearing in mind kenya votes on tribal grounds.

 

[livefire]

this is for free, mudumber is going nowhere, qwanza ati for president? He will be pinished like a child, wait for it...seems we forget the two suspects needed dat immunity like yesterday. about numbers, my voting block now have a reason to vote. Its the vibe everywhere minus GEMA n Kale regions. Heres the shocker, even the loyal Kisiis wamehama, nikuhama kabisa kabisa sasa. The cord is rolling.

you know am talking about numbers if gema and kalenjin have an high turnout then add that to mudavadi even 20% luhya then it will be very hard for cord even if they get rest of kenya. to make it worse raira should have chosen a kalenjin,i suspect now they will all back ruto. honestly and from what i have heard from a political pundit cord start at a disadvantage

The mis-learning of Musalia Mudavadi, copying 2002 mistake

BY: RASHID WANJALA



There is nothing as bad in politics as having your life dependent on spoon feeding by others. African gender etiquette dictates that real men ought to be self sufficient and reliant without being baby sat by anyone. That a real man will fight his own battles, rather than be a hand-held device.

One politician in Kenya has dedicated his political life to being baby fed. His name is Musalia Mudavadi (henceforth MM). Despite having a political resume that spans more than 2 decades in Kenya's politics, he has never developed the confidence to be a man on his own.

t's never about what or who MM will become, but whose MM he will become. His first Godfather when he joined politics in 1989 was H.E. D.T. Arap Moi, who literally plucked him out of salaried job, then rammed him down the throats of Sabatians, and subsequently made him Minister for Supplies and Marketing in the reshuffle that ensued following his election.

We all know what befell him (losing his entire political empire including his Sabatia seat) when he failed to read the ground mood correctly, he blindly ignored the popular Raila led rebellion featuring big political names then like Kalonzo Musyoka, George Saitoti, Moody Awori and the entire defunct NDP leadership who stormed out of the Kanu behemoth in protest over the then President D.T. Arap Moi's choice of UK as his preferred successor. KANU was left a shell as months before the Raila rebellion other prominent KANU like Simon Nyachae and Kipkalia Kones had joined opposition ranks.

MM already had started being ambivalent, blowing hot and cold, prompting the indefatigable Fred Gumo to make the "kaa ngumu call".

MM, being a spoilt Kanu stalwart used to receiving positions on a silver platter, could not envisage a life away from his "political King maker", and would soon fall for the bait of a VP and eventually settle for the running mate slot which was dangled to him by the then KANU operatives then.

Reliable sources revealed later that the plan then was to have him be a running mate to deliver the Luhya vote, a swing vote at the time. After the elections, the sources reveal, he was to be shoved aside, and in his place Gideon Moi or William Samoe Ruto (henceforth WSR) was to be named Vice President. That was the card hidden underneath the table.

Actually, the sources revealed that Moses Akaranga's candidature was heavily financed by the Kanu wheeler dealers, to undermine MM's chances of setting foot in the 2003 parliament that could have made it easy to have the younger Moi (Gideon) as VP without causing big fuss.

Kibaki, then the Narc candidate had the eloquent Michael Wamalwa Kijana (May his soul rest eternal peace) as his running mate. With the Enigmatic RAO, then Professional Assistant minister Moody Awori, and Fred Gumo aggressively campaigning for Narc in Western Province, NARC easily swept the Western vote clean, with MM being taught a lesson that seemingly he never learnt!

The ground shifted to a different direction and MM lacking foresight, was blinded by the trappings of power brought forth by the VP bait that had been dangled unto him by then Kenya's most celebrated professor of politics. That's how he set a record as the shortest serving VP in History of our republic.

Even my grandmother told me there was no way Uhuru Kenyatta could beat the NARC wave. Children in lower primary school thought the same, opinion polls vindicated that but the strange or unusual thing is that MM despite his college education and a decade in politics- for poor judgment and lack of foresight- didn't see that. Or so he had been wired to believe that Moi could still pull a surprise at the last minute.

In 2003, MM, then a dejected and defeated Moi orphan, was nominated by Kanu to parliament, an offer that he rejected. Reality was now dawning on him that maize had been sprinkled on the ground to trick him towards the slaughter man in a hut.

Coming back to parliament a nominated man, the game plan devised against him had played out according to the script.

MM- in the cold and with all the trappings of power gone- requested through emissaries to join the Raila led LDP, and Raila being a forgiving man, offered to rehabilitate him.

Raila, and his LDP team explained to the Western voters that even though he had tripped, the son of Mudamba deserved a second chance from the children of Mulembe.

That young people make mistakes. And poor judgments are a part of the learning experience. A credible, trustworthy man was pleading his case and the jury of Luhyia professionals and villagers believed Raila.

Fast forward to 2005, and MM had now morphed into a reliable Raila pointman towards the delivery of the NO vote in Western Province was a vote of confidence in his new found political ground.

Raila had explained, and the people had overwhelmingly listened. Mudavadi ‘s credibility had been restored, having joined the people's cause!

Orange represented- and it still does- the aspirations of Kenyans, a rejection of dictatorship, a vindication of freedom, liberty, and a pursuit of development for all Kenyans.

Riding on the Orange wave driven by Raila's charismatic and colorful leadership not to mention his unmatched international fundraising networks, MM was back into the political limelight. He had been rehabilitated into the mainstream of Kenya's political high-table.

By 2007, Raila had built MM to a point where he could now vie for presidency. MM could seek the ODM presidential nomination but got defeated at the nomination stage, he ended up as a distant second. Raila, in a show of renewed faith in MM nominated him as the ODM running mate.

After the bungled election, Ruto who delivered more votes for ODM than any other Pentagon member was bypassed and MM- out of moral considerations to be explained herein under- on a silver platter was given the DPM position, undeservedly.

Raila in my opinion felt that MM, as the one he had picked as running mate, he would have sent the wrong message- that he can appoint him running mate then dump him after getting his objectives met.

Raila, by sticking with MM as DPM, demonstrated that he is a man whose word you can count on. That once he makes a promise, he keeps it. He would never betray you or go back on commitments that he makes to a comrade.

However, it could also be that Raila has the ability to read body language and psycho- analyze people. He could tell that MM, if denied positions of power, could have been baited by the wielders of power.

MM didn't believe in the Orange cause, Raila could probably tell, but MM viewed a dalliance with ODM as a means to an end- as keys that could open the doors into the corridors of power- because he knows in his heart of hearts- that the majorities are with the orange cause.

And so like a materialistic lover, only interested in the money of whoever is dating, MM had to be showered with positions in order to stay. That's probably one of the reasons MM was appointed, bypassing a more deserving WSR.

Raila could have done without MM, he needed WSR more, but MM being a thankless man still had the audacity to ditch a comrade who had his back, and had without conditions, embraced him when he looked politically irredeemable.

Truth be told, the only reason it was hard to accommodate WSR in ODM is that MM blackmailed and even played fears of the ambitious WSR on Raila, at every turn- that he could lay conditions "if you give WSR this I will leave you". Even after being made DPM he still wanted more. He could force his way into being made a joint Deputy Party Leader.

Common sense demanded that if MM was Deputy PM, he should have ceded ground for WSR to become Deputy Party Leader. That was his call not Raila's call. That's what power-sharing is all about. You cede ground in the best interest of the party, caring that we all –the party members, stand to lose if a key ally leaves the party.

You help the party by realizing that Annan gave us this half loaf to share equitably rather than fight over.

It is apparent that WSR did not want to leave ODM; MM like a selfish sibling frustrated him into ditching the party, by constantly nagging and blackmailing Raila to give him even what belonged to WSR.

MM was not the type to give up selfish interest for the sake of the party. Anytime WSR forwarded names for appointment to Raila, MM nagged Raila with Luyha names for the same positions.

As a leader caught in the middle and one who is not a tribalist- and I can feel his dilemma, Raila ended up forwarding names of neutral persons, given by neither MM nor WSR.

MM wanted the whole ODM loaf for himself. He didn't want to share. As a man who loathes competition, reliable sources reveal that MM really celebrated when WSR name featured in the Ocampo Six and subsequent decamping to UDM- he threw bashes.

To MM, what mattered was not whether ODM stayed a united political party, but like a jealous sibling, how much he would deny Ruto from getting.

In 2012, vintage MM is once again sticking his head out. By quitting on the same party that risked losing a considerable constituency like Rift Valley to assuage his insatiable and materialistic desires of access to the corridors of power, MM has once again showed that he is a spoilt child who never learns.

These are interesting times to be Kenyan as Whitney Houston and Deborah Cox's duet of "same script different cast" is being played out right before our very own eyes.

Folks, Kernels of corn have been laid out in a wavy line that leads up into a hut, not a state House. I see a hut, with a ruthless man standing with a sharp knife, and on his left side is hot water boiling in a sufuria– guys am salivating, Ingokho is being served for dinner- am telling you.

Unsuspecting, the hen is pecking on the kernels, and it's obvious, that it's now so close to the hut. The chicken slaughter man can't go wrong on this one. It's as good as cooked! The bird will go into the hut, the door will be shut behind it, and it will be caught and slaughtered- then- what is it they do next-feathered, cut into pieces, then fried, and feasted on.

It almost happened in 2002, but this time it's an affait accompli. The recent Bukura ward is a testament to the fact that MM's fortunes are headed South, at a time when ODM's are meteorically rising.

Psychologists when psychoanalyzing always ask about coping mechanism. For example, MM would be asked how he coped with fear of losing trappings of power in 2002. Then he would say- I swallowed Moi's bait.

Any well trained psychologist would predict that given a similar circumstance- fear of losing trappings of power- MM would react in an exact manner- betray his convictions (if he has any) for the sake of short lived access to the corridors of power. Like in 2002, he is now swallowing another octogenarian's bait.

Like in 2002 and 2007, this man has been recruited into a project- he has a history of losing direction anytime there's transition from one administration to the next. His main scheme now is to ensure that he is on the side that has the greatest chances of seizing or maintaining power.

Unfortunately, he does that subjectively, like a hyena blinded by greed from the trappings of power. He takes his decisions based on here and now (no foresight at all). Like in 2002, and now in 2012, he will be confused again in 2017 or 2022- I can predict with accuracy.

But as he wanders in this miasma of confusion other Luhya leaders like Paul Otuoma, Ababu Namwamba, Alfred Khangati , Rashid Mohamed are emerging. And Kenya will move forward- MM's confusion notwithstanding. By the time he regains traction, the little Kingdom that Nabongo Mumia's kinsman (Raila) helped him regain would all be gone, because going by the Bukura ward by-election results, ODM has taken back its Kingdom.

The second part of this article continues next weekend. It will focus on why State House power brokers are rooting for MM and why he fits into their scheme for perpetuating their hold onto power >> The mis-learning of Musalia Mudavadi, Part II

The mis-learning of Musalia Mudavadi, copying 2002 mistake - Kenya Today

 

[Father of All]

On my dead body! Mudavadi can't become Kenya's next president. He is an opportunist who knows nothing. Uhuruto or Gihuruto in Gikuyu won't let this happen. They will cling unto the ticket even if they know they are going to lose. Mudavadi should not be fooled by the ballyhoos and hoo has from Uhuruto. If anything, Mudavadi is but a tool in someone's hand.

another thing kalonzo could sabotage cord if he is not nominated for president, thus further weakening raila. these are uncertain times in kenya but if tribal maths hold true,its over for cord

 

[Dhuks]

Lol your real sentiments are now out, me weeps for Kenya because the only coalition that makes sense is Tuju-Kenneth but they are non starters already. My only prayer is for us to accept whoever wins to lead us

 

[Edzeame]

It's definately and most likely going to be son of mudamba who takes the day in the end. The ODM_wiper lynch mob campaigners are generally distracted enough by legal struggles which should keep them busy for a while. I agree that ODM_wiper will get lost in their math.

 

[Nairoberry]

let me just explain in detail why mudavadi will be most likely rais of kenya. lets start by being honest. in Kenya voting is based purely on tribe. people will vote for their own or follow which alliance their tribesmen are in. for example if raila backs kalonzo for pork, there is no question that all luos(90%) will vote for kalonzo same case if uhuru for example tells kikuyu to vote for mudavadi then all kikuyus(90%) will vote for mudavadi. the same case goes for all other tribes and their tribal gods. to Tanzanians this seems bewildering as zitto said but that is just the reality. absconding one from this truth is simply is living in denial or utopia. and that's explains why Peter Kenneth and Rafael Tuju although being the most cleanest and pro reform and untainted presidential candidates they can never get to rais since they dont have the tribal backing. that said this is what happens

Understanding Uhuru,Ruto and Mudavadi Numbers

1)Uhuru commands the kikuyu vote which is the single most largest voting bloc. if you add Gikuyu cousins the Meru and embu who normally vote together as GEMA means uhuru starts with a formidable voting block and as an early headstart. when we also look at the counties uhuru will easliy start with a large overwhelming lead in the following counties out of the 47 ,laikipia,nyandarua,nyeri,meru,embu,tharaka-nithi,kiambu,muranga,kajiado,nakuru and kirinyaga.

2)Ruto command the second largest voting block the kalenjin. his position has been reinforced by raila's failure to choose a running mate from the kalenjin which would have split the votes at-least. ruto counties where he commands majority are baringo,bomet,nandi,elgeyo-marakwet,west pokot and uasin gishu

3)Mudavadi is from the luhya community which is the third largest voting block in kenya. unfortunately for mudavadi luhya people do not vote together as a block,they are sctatterd and chances are that he will only get one county -kakamega. other luhya counties are toss ups.

Understanding Raila,Kalonzo,Wetangula numbers
1) raila is from the Luo tribe kenya's fourth largest voting block. raila is very popular nationwide but lets look at the counties he is 100% assured where the Luo make the majority. they are, kisumu,homabay,siaya and migori

2)kalonzo commands kenya 5th largest voting block the kamba. lets look at his counties- makueni,machakos and kitui

3)wetangula also a luhya but as i said luhyas are always split. he will get only bungoma county


*PLEASE NOTE, I HAVE NOT PUT OTHER COUNTIES IN THE ANALYSIS SINCE THEY ARE TOSS UP OR SWING COUNTIES AND THEY CAN GO EITHER WAY .

as you can all see clearly from this analysis mudavadi if backed by ruto and uhuru will make it easily.

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Khabari zilizonifikia saa hii zinaonyesha ya kuwa Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta ameamua kwa hiari yake kumwachia Mudavadi kuwa Raisi wa Kenya wa nne kutokana na nguvu ya muungano wao kuonyesha watashinda katika raundi ya kwanza bila ya kujali kati yao nani atakuwa mgombea tajwa.

Vilevile uhuru amepata mashinikizo kutoka kwa wafanyabiashara wakubwa nchini Kenya kumwachia Mudavadi kwa sababu ya "stability" ya kenya................kwa maana ya kuwa kama Uhuru na Rutto wote wakitiwa hatiani na hague au hata kuhudhuria kesi hiyo inaamaana nchi itakuwa mikononi mwa nani?

Jingine ni kuwa Uhuru atapenda akumbukwe kuwa alijitoa mhanga kuruhusu kenya kwa mara ya kwanza kuwa na Raisi na Makamu wake kutoka makabila mengine isipokuwa wakikuyu..........................if this is true.........what an enduring legacy to bequeth a nation known as an amalgamation of African primitive tribes..........


It seems Muigai is the most powerful kingmaker in this Kenyan election....................

Waliotarajia ya kuwa Tinga atakuwa Raisi ni vyema wakaanza kuandika maumivu makali maana makabila yanayomkubali Raila hayana wapigakura wa kushindana na wimbi la Tsunami la Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta................................tuwape pole................kwa maumivu

Mvaa Tai Amini usiamini wafanyabiashara ndiyo hutuchagulia viongozi siye zile kura zetu ni kuthibitisha tu watakacho......kwenye uchaguzi wa kenya mvutano kati ya Uhuru na Raila unajengwa na wafanya biashara wa kimataifa ambao wanamwuunga mkono Raila na ndiyo wanasukumua uhuru afungwe Hague na wafanyabiashara wa ndani ambao wanamwona uhuru atalinda masilahi yao ndani ya uchumi wa kenya...........

 

[Mwita Maranya]

Kama kweli bro. Musalia Mudavadi amepishwa na Uhuru Kenyatta katika mbio za uraisi itakuwa ameisaidia sana kuiimarisha kambi yao.
Lakini hata hivyo si jambo rahisi kusema kwamba Odinga asahau kuingia Nyayo House kwakuwa wanasiasa wa Kenya hawatabiriki, usijekushangaa akina Eugen Wamalwa, Peter Keneth, na Tuju wanaiunga mkono kambi ya Odinga na Musyoka.

Ni suala la kusubiri kidogo tu kwani mambo yatakuwa hadharani kwakuwa muda umewaishia wa kila mmoja kujua anasimama wapi na nani.

Rutashubanyuma najua unatambua kwamba biashara ya siasa za Kenya ni ngumu sana kwa sisi tuliozoea siasa za kitanzania. Kwa madhila aliytofanyiwa Odinga na Utawala wa Moi pamoja na kukubali kuunganisha vyama vyao (NDP na KANU) huku akipewa ahadi ya kugombea uraisi(Odinga) lakini dakika za mwisho Moi akaamua kumbeba kwa mbereko ya Chuma Uhuru Kenyatta kulikuwa hakuna kitu kingine cha kufanya kwa Odinga zaidi ya kile alichokifanya.

Infact Odinga ni mvumilivu sana na Muungwana kwakuwa baada ya kuchoropoka KANU alikubali kumfanyia kampeni Mwai Kibaki ili kuuung'oa kabisa utawala wa kifamilia na kikabila wa Kanu. Aliyewasaliti wenzake ni Kibaki na wala huwezi kumtupia lawama Odinga kwa yaliyotokea. Wote hawa Odinga, Musyoka, Uhuru, Rutto, Balala na wengine wengi waliokuwa pamoja chini ya serikali ya kibaki waliparaganyika tena 2007 kutokana na Kibaki kutotimiza kikamilifu ahadi zake.

Kwahiyo haya yanayotokea sasa ya miunganiko ya wanasiasa si ya ajabu na yalitarajiwa kuwepo, ambacho hakikuwa kinajulikana ni nani na nani watakuwa pamoja. Lakini niseme kwamba bado ni mapema mno kwa kambi ya Uhuru, Ruto kuwa na uhakika wa ushindi wa moja kwa moja kwa kumuingiza kundini Mudavadi, hiyo ni ngumu sana kwani bado kuna wanasiasa wenye nguvu kutoka kabila la Mudavadi wanaomuunga mkono Odinga kwahiyo hii ngoma bado mbichi sana.

Na kitu kingine cha muhimu ni kwamba Odinga ni bingwa wa mikakati ya kisiasa na uchaguzi, siwezi katu kumchukulia poa kiasi hicho.
